The proximal articular surface (posterior articular surface) is the triangular, posterior area of the cuboid bone. It’s one of the six surfaces of the cuboid bone, the other five being the plantar, dorsal, medial and lateral surfaces, and the distal articular surface.
The proximal articular surface of cuboid bone articulates with the articular surface for cuboid bone on the calcaneus, forming the calcaneocuboid joint.

Cuboid Bone
The os peroneum is a rounded accessory ossicle found within the substance of the peroneus longus tendon, which forms a sling around the cuboid as it travels to its insertion on the plantar midfoot and is located just lateral to the cuboid bone.
