The cuneiform bones are three small bones located in the foot, specifically in the midfoot region. They are named the medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bones, and they help form the arch of the foot. These bones play a crucial role in providing stability and support during walking and running. Each cuneiform bone connects to different toes and the navicular bone, which is situated above them. The cuneiforms also articulate with the metatarsal bones, allowing for movement and flexibility. Their unique shapes contribute to the overall structure and function of the foot.
