    The bone that aligns with the cuneiforms is the cuboid bone. Together they articulate with the metatarsals of the foot.

    The cuboid is the most lateral bone in the distal row. He articulates with the calcaneus posteriorly, and the first and second metatarsals anteriorly.

    The three cuneiforms articulate with the navicular bone posteriorly, and the metatarsals anteriorly.

    The navicular bone is the only proximal bone to form a joint or joints with the three cuneiform bones of the foot. The cuneiform bones then go on to form joints with the metatarsals. The cuboid bone is a lateral bone in the foot that only creates a joint with the lateral cuneiform and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones.
