This tutorial covers the anatomy of the three cuneiform bones in the foot: medial, intermediate, and lateral. It explains their articulations with other bones, points of muscle insertion, and their roles in foot movement. The medial cuneiform is the largest and provides insertion points for the tibialis anterior and fibularis longus muscles. The intermediate cuneiform is the smallest and works with the tibialis posterior muscle. The lateral cuneiform is central and supports the flexor hallucis brevis muscle. All receive blood from the dorsal arterial network and are innervated by specific nerves.
