. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. 248 SPECIAL ANATOMY OF THE SKELETON surface is concave, presenting, along its superior and posterior borders, a narrow, reversed, I>-shaped surface, for articulation with the middle cuaeiform behind and second metatarsal bone in front; in the rest of its extent it is rough, for the attachment of ligaments, and part of the tendon of the Peroneus longus. The anterior surface, kidney-shaped, much larger than the posterior, articulates with the metatarsal bone of the great toe. The posterior surface is triangular, concave, and articulates with the innermost and largest of the three facets on the anterior surface of the scaphoid. The plantar surface is rough, and presents a prominent tuberosity at its back part for the attachment of part of the tendon of the Tibialis posticus. It also gives attachment in front to part of the tendon of the Tibialis anticus. The dorsal surface is the narrow-pointed end of the wedge, which is directed upward and outward; it is rough for the attachment of ligaments. To ascertain to which side the bone belongs, hold it so that its dorsal narrow edge looks upward, and the long, kidney-shaped, articular surface forward; the external surface, marked by its vertical and horizontal articular facets, will point to the side to which it belongs. Articulations.—With four bones: scaphoid, middle cuneiform, first and second metatarsal bones. Attachment of Muscles.—To three—the Tibialis anticus and posticus, and Peroneus longus. Middle or Second Cuneiform (os cuneiforme secundum) (Fig. 199).—The middle cuneiform, the smallest of the three, is of very regular wedge-like form, the broad extremity being placed upward, the narrow end downward. It is situated between the other two bones of the same For int. cuneiform p^^ scaphoid "ame, and articulates with the scaphoid behind and the second metatarsal in front. It is smaller than the external cuneiform bone, from which it may be further dis- tinguis
