There are three cuneiform ("wedge-shaped") bones in the human foot: the first or medial cuneiform; the second or intermediate cuneiform, also known as the middle cuneiform; the third or lateral cuneiform; They are located between the navicular bone and the first, second and third metatarsal bones and are medial to the cuboid bone. [1]
The synovial membrane between the second and third cuneiforms behind, and the second and third metatarsal bones in front, is part of the great tarsal synovial membrane. Two prolongations are sent forward from it, one between the adjacent sides of the second and third, and another between those of the third and fourth metatarsal bones.
Skeleton of foot. Medial aspect. The medial arch is higher than the lateral longitudinal arch. It is made up by the calcaneus, the talus, the navicular, the three cuneiforms (medial, intermediate, and lateral), and the first, second, and third metatarsals.
The second and third metatarsals are fixed while walking, thus these metatarsals are common sites of injury. The fifth metatarsal may be fractured if the foot is oversupinated during locomotion. [9] Protection from injuries can be given by the use of safety footwear which can use built-in or removable metatarsal guards.
The axis of rotation in the joint is directed upward 42 degrees from the horizontal plane and 16 degrees medially from the midline of the foot. However, together, the subtalar facets form a screw or Archimedean spiral (right-handed in the right foot) about which subtalar motion occurs. So, during subtalar inversion, the calcaneus also rotates ...
The third metatarsal bone is a long bone in the foot. It is the second longest metatarsal, the longest being the second metatarsal. The third metatarsal is analogous to the third metacarpal bone in the hand [1] Like the four other metatarsal bones, it can be divided into three part: base, body and head.
The intertarsal joint are the joints of the tarsal bones in the foot. There are six specific inter tarsal joints (articulations) in the human foot: Subtalar joint; Talocalcaneonavicular joint; Calcaneocuboid joint; Cuneonavicular joint; Cuboideonavicular joint; Intercuneiform joints
The navicular bone is a keystone of the foot: it is part of the coxa pedis and articulates with the talus, first, second and third cuneiform, cuboid and calcaneus. It plays an important role in the biomechanics of the foot, helping in inversion, eversion, and motion; it is a structural link between midfoot and forefoot and it is part of the ...
