Cuneiform bones

There are three cuneiform bones: • The medial cuneiform (also known as first cuneiform) is the largest of the cuneiforms. It is situated at the medial side of the foot, anterior to the navicular bone and posterior to the base of the first metatarsal. Lateral to it is the intermediate cuneiform. It articulates with four bones: the navicular, second cuneiform, and first and second metatarsals. The tibialis anterior and fibularis longus muscle inserts at the medial cuneiform bone. Muscle attachments ==Injuries==

• Lisfranc fracture – in which one or all of the metatarsals are displaced from the tarsus • Cuneiform fracture - Due to the ligamentous support of the midfoot, isolated cuneiform fractures are rare ==Additional images==
