    Maybe they should have read the following papers on the tarsus, all of which included the cuboid. Any study of an isolated tarsal element (with the possible exception of the talus), gives an incomplete picture of the true patterns of morphological variation and what they mean - functional, genetic, or both.

    All of the above contain examination pertinent to the cuboid, the calcaneo-cuboid joint of the cuboid 5th Metatarsal joint.

    Morphometric studies of the cuboid are not new. The first to my knowledge was in 1993. Knowledge of the importance of the "beak" AKA known as the calcaneal process has been known since at least this time, but probably much earlier

    I have looked through the archives of the UNISA library to find a copy of this work but it seems not to be available, at least yet.

    The ontogenesis of the cuboid bone controls the position of the (embryological) lateral column of the foot.

    Cuboid supinatus, if severe enough, can result in a PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity (one of the four most common genetic foot structures).
