The anterior articular surface, for the first metatarsal b(Mie, is nmchlarger than the posterior, is kidney-shaped and convex. The inlernat surface isfree, rather uneven, and marked by an oblique groove for the tendon of the tibialisanticus muscle, ending below in an oval facet where the larger part of the tendon isinserted. On the outer side, along the posterior and supeiior ])ordeis, is an L-shapedsurface, which articulates with the middle cuneiform, and at its anteri
