Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament[edit | edit source]

The Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament is a fibrous band of connective tissue that connects the cuneiform and cuboid bones in the foot. This ligament plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and flexibility of the foot.

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

Anatomy[edit | edit source]

The Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament is located in the midfoot region, specifically between the cuneiform and cuboid bones. It is a short, strong band of fibrous tissue that extends obliquely from the lateral side of the cuneiform to the medial side of the cuboid bone.

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]

Damage or injury to the Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament can result in instability and pain in the foot. This can be caused by trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
