Cubonavicular

/ˌkjuːbəʊnəˈvɪkjələr/ adjective

Definition

Relating to both the cuboid bone and the navicular bone in the foot.

Etymology

From 'cubo-' (cuboid) combined with 'navicular' (boat-shaped bone), describing the anatomical relationship between these two tarsal bones.

Kelly Says

These two bones sit next to each other in your foot's midfoot region and rarely dislocate together because they're tightly bound by ligaments—a design that gives your foot incredible stability.
