The medial cuneiform is one of the seven tarsal bones located in the foot. It is situated at the base of the first metatarsal bone and plays a crucial role in the structure and function of the foot. This bone helps form the arch and provides stability during walking and running. In addition to its supportive role, the medial cuneiform articulates with several other bones, including the navicular and the intermediate cuneiform. Its position allows for proper weight distribution and movement, making it essential for activities that involve foot mobility and balance.
