The intermediate cuneiform (second cuneiform or middle cuneiform) is shaped like a wedge, the thin end pointing downwards. The intermediate cuneiform is situated between the other two cuneiform bones (the medial and lateral cuneiforms), and articulates with the
navicular posteriorly, the
second metatarsal anteriorly and with the other cuneiforms on either side.
The lateral cuneiform (also known as third cuneiform or external cuneiform) intermediate in size between the other two cuneiform bones, is also wedge-shaped, the base being uppermost. It occupies the center of the front row of the
tarsal bones, between the intermediate cuneiform medially, the
cuboid laterally, the
navicular posteriorly and the
thirdmetatarsal in front. The
tibialis posterior inserts at the lateral cuneiform, while the
flexor hallucis brevis originates from it.[2]
