Cuneocuboid Ligament

ligamentum cuneocuboideum

The cuneocuboid ligament connects the lateral cuneiform to the cuboid, stabilising the cuneocuboid joint at the lateral midfoot and forming part of the transverse tarsal arch.

Region: Foot & Ankle
Biomechanics

Function & Actions

Stabilises the lateral cuneiform-cuboid articulation, contributes to lateral midfoot stability, and maintains the transverse arch alignment at the midfoot level.

Clinical Relevance

Clinical Notes

Cuneocuboid joint disruption in lateral midfoot injuries contributes to lateral column instability. Selective cuneocuboid arthrodesis addresses isolated lateral midfoot arthritis.

Pathology

Common Injuries & Conditions
