Which ligament is described as the ligament between the cuneiform and cuboid bones on the back of the foot?

• A. Dorsal cuneocuboid ligament
• B. Tibial collateral ligament
• C. Anterior sternoclavicular ligament
• D. Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

Answer: (A)

The dorsal cuneocuboid ligament is the connection between the cuneiform and cuboid bones on the back (dorsal) surface of the foot, stabilizing the lateral midfoot by linking those two tarsal bones. The other ligaments listed aren’t in that region: the tibial collateral ligament is a knee ligament, the anterior sternoclavicular ligament sits at the sternoclavicular joint in the chest, and the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament lies on the plantar (sole) side between the calcaneus and navicular, supporting the arch rather than the dorsal midfoot.
