The medial cuneiform (also known as first cuneiform) is the largest of the cuneiforms.
It is situated at the medial side of the foot, anterior to the navicular and posterior to the base of the first metatarsal.
It articulates with four bones: the navicular, second cuneiform, and first and second metatarsals.
