The Dorsal Ligament (ligamentum cuboideonaviculare dorsale).—The dorsal ligament extends obliquely forward and lateralward from the navicular to the cuboid bone (Fig. 355). |
The Plantar Ligament (ligamentum cuboideonaviculare plantare).—The plantar ligament passes nearly transversely between these two bones (Fig. 358). |
The Interosseous Ligament.—The interosseous ligament consists of strong transverse fibers, and connects the rough non-articular portions of the adjacent surfaces of the two bones Fig. 360). |
Synovial Membrane.—The synovial membrane of this joint is part of the great tarsal synovial membrane (Fig. 360). |
Movements.—The movements permitted between the navicular and cuboid bones are limited to a slight gliding upon each other. |

Intercuneiform and Cuneocuboid Articulations.—The three cuneiform bones and the cuboid are connected together by dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments. |
The Dorsal Ligaments (ligamenta intercuneiformia dorsalia).—The dorsal ligaments consist of three transverse bands: one connects the first with the second cuneiform, another the second with the third cuneiform, and another the third cuneiform with the cuboid. |
The Plantar Ligaments (ligamenta intercuneiformia plantaria). |
| —The plantar ligaments have a similar arrangement to the dorsal, and are strengthened by slips from the tendon of the Tibialis posterior. |
The Interosseous Ligaments (ligamenta intercuneiformia interossea).—The interosseous ligaments consist of strong transverse fibers which pass between the rough non-articular portions of the adjacent surfaces of the bones (Fig. 360). |
