Q1. Which cuneiform most commonly articulates with the cuboid medially?
- Intermediate cuneiform only
- Medial cuneiform
- No cuneiform
- Lateral cuneiform
Q2. Which additional tarsal may articulate with the cuboid medially through a variable facet?
- Navicular
- Calcaneus only
- Medial cuneiform only
- Talus
Q3. What feature on the plantar cuboid lies posterior to the groove for fibularis longus?
- Talar trochlea
- Sustentaculum tali
- Navicular tuberosity
- Plantar ridge or tuberosity
Q4. How does the fibularis longus tendon change direction at the cuboid?
- It ends on the cuboid
- It turns proximally into the posterior leg
- It is redirected medially across the plantar foot
- It enters the ankle joint
Q5. Which two joints form the transverse tarsal joint?
- First and second metatarsophalangeal joints
- Talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints
- Subtalar and ankle joints
- Fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal joints
Q6. Which ligament on the plantar foot helps support the calcaneocuboid region and creates a tunnel for fibularis longus?
- Anterior talofibular ligament
- Deltoid ligament
- Long plantar ligament
- Patellar ligament
Q7. Which ligament lies deep to the long plantar ligament and directly reinforces the plantar calcaneocuboid joint?
- Anterior cruciate ligament
- Interosseous tibiofibular ligament
- Plantar calcaneocuboid ligament
- Posterior talofibular ligament
Q8. What is the structural significance of the cuboid between the calcaneus and lateral metatarsals?
- It separates the talus from the calcaneus
- It links the calcaneus to the lateral metatarsals
- It connects the tibia directly to the great toe
- It replaces the lateral cuneiform
Q9. Which surfaces of the cuboid primarily participate in the fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal joints?
- Distal surface
- Posterior surface
- Plantar ridge only
- Superior nonarticular surface
Q10. Why is the plantar cuboid anatomically important to fibularis longus function?
- It is the origin of the fibularis longus muscle
- It inserts the tendon into the calcaneus
- It prevents the tendon from entering the foot
- It redirects the tendon across the sole
