The cuboid bone is proximal to the fifth metatarsal in the foot. It is located on the outer side of the foot, between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones.
The extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius are the two muscles inserts on the fifth phalanx or the the fifth metatarsal.
By breaking it with a hammer.

The bony prominence on the lateral side of the foot is called the fifth metatarsal tuberosity.
There can be pain associated with fusion surgery of the fourth and fifth vertebrae. The surgery may also cause limited mobility of the neck.
Distal to the metatarsals are the phalanges. The great toe (hallux) has two phalanges where as all of the other toes have three each. The proximal phalanges attach the the metatarsals via the metatarsal phalangeal joints. Proximal to the metatarsals are the tarsals. The first, second, and third cuneiforms articulate with the first, second and third metatarsals. The fourth metatarsal articulates with the cuboid and the head of the fifth metatarsal is its own projection that can be felt on the lateral foot.
