The cuneocuboid joint is a small synovial plane joint between the lateral surface of the lateral cuneiform and the medial surface of the cuboid. It is part of the intertarsal joint complex of the midfoot and is stabilised by dorsal, plantar, and interosseous cuneocuboid ligaments. Motion is limited to slight gliding.
The cuneocuboid joint is rarely injured in isolation but is involved in midfoot crush injuries and Lisfranc fracture-dislocation patterns. It communicates with the cuneonavicular and intercuneiform joint cavities in most individuals. Arthrosis of this joint contributes to lateral midfoot pain and stiffness, often requiring fusion as part of a midfoot arthrodesis procedure.
Post-traumatic or primary arthrosis of the cuneocuboid joint produces lateral midfoot pain aggravated by walking and standing, often managed with supportive footwear, orthotics, or surgical fusion if conservative measures fail.
The cuneocuboid joint may be disrupted as part of homolateral or divergent Lisfranc patterns, contributing to midfoot instability that requires surgical stabilisation.
