The Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament is located in the foot, connecting the cuneiform and cuboid bones.

Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Function[edit | edit source]

The primary function of the Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament is to provide stability to the foot by preventing excessive movement between the cuneiform and cuboid bones. It also contributes to the flexibility of the foot, allowing for a range of movements such as walking, running, and jumping.

Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
