medial cuneiform
The medial cuneiform is one of the seven tarsal bones located in the foot. It is situated on the inner side of the foot, between the navicular bone and the first metatarsal bone. This bone plays a crucial role in the structure and function of the foot, contributing to its stability and mobility.
As part of the tarsal bones, the medial cuneiform helps form the arch of the foot. It is involved in the movement of the foot, particularly during activities like walking and running. Proper function of the medial cuneiform is essential for maintaining balance and supporting body weight.
