Abstract
The foot plays a vital role in standing and gait. Its function results from harmonious interaction of bones, joints, and soft tissue. An imbalance or a defect in these structures can result in problems. The cuneiform bone of the foot consists of three bones: medial, intermediate, and lateral. Its structure plays an important role in maintaining the skeletal arch and it supports the body's weight. A defect or dislocation can disrupt the distribution of the weight-bearing complex of the foot and can lead to difficult gait.
