10) Plantar Foot (Part II) Flashcards
The 2nd layer of the plantar aspect of the foot contains
5 muscles (4 lumbircals and quadratus plantae) 2 tendons (FDL and FHL) *all muscles attach to FDL*
Characteristics of Quadratus plantae (Flexor accessorius)
Deep to Flexor digitorum brevis 2 heads (origins)
Origins of Medial and Lateral head of Quadratus plantae
Medial surface of calcaneus (Medial)
Trigonum plantare and Inferior calcaneus distal to lateral tubercle
Origins of Quadratus plantae separated by
Long plantar ligament
Insertion of Quadratus plantae
Heads unit to insert onto FDL tendon
Blood supply to Quadratus plantae
Medial and Lateral plantar arteries
Innervation to Quadratus plantae
Lateral plantar nerve
Function of Quadratus plantae
Redirecting line of pull of FDL
Assisting in flexion of phalanges
Characteristics of lumbricals (Lumbricale muscles)
1 - Unipennate
2, 3, 4 - Bipennate
Origin of 1st lumbrical
Medial side of `1st tendon of FDL (which goes to 2nd digit)
Origin of 2nd-4th lumbrical
Adjacent tendons
For 3rd lumbrical (medial side of 3rd and lateral side of 2nd)
Path of tendons of lumbricals
Distally, they pass plantar to the transverse metatarsal ligament
Inesrtion of lumbricals
Medial aspect of extensor wing of extensor expansion at base of proximal phalanx of digits 2-5
(1st lumbrical to 2nd digit, etc.)
Blood supply to lumbricals
Respective plantar metatarsal arteries
Innervation to lumbricals
1st lumbrical (Medial plantar nerve) 2nd-4th lumbrical (Deep branch of lateral plantar nerve)
Function of lumbricals
Flexion of MTP joints
Extension of PIP and DIP joints
Origin of Flexor hallucis brevis (2 heads)
Lateral (Plantar surface of cuboid and lateral cuneiform)
Medial (Tibialis posterior tendon)
Insertion of Flexor hallucis brevis
Medial and lateral base of proximal phalanx
Invest respective hallux sesamoids before phalangeal insertion
Halux sesamoids and FHB
Sesamoids increase the mechanical advantage of FHB
Act as weightbearing structures and decrease friction
Blood supply to Flexor hallucis brevis
1st plantar metatarsal artery
Innervation to Flexor hallucis brevis
Medial plantar nerve
Function of flexor hallucis brevis
Plantarflexion of hallux MTP joint
Origin of Flexor digiti minimi brevis
Base of 5th metatarsal
Tendon sheath of fibularis longus
Insertion of Flexor digiti minimi brevis
Plantar/lateral aspect of base of proximal phalanx of 5th toe
Blood supply to Flexor digiti minimi brevis
Lateral plantar artery
Innervation to Flexor digiti minimi brevis
Superficial branch of Lateral plantar nerve
Function of Flexor digiti minimi brevis
Plantarflexion of 5th digit at MTP joint
Origin of Adductor hallucis heads
Transverse (Fibrous capsule, Plantar plates of digits 3-5, Deep transverse metatarsal ligament)
Oblique (Plantar aspect of metatarsal bases 2-4, Fibulari longus tendon sheath)
Insertion of Adductor hallucis
Lateral sesamoid
Lateral aspect of proximal phalanx base of 1st digit
Blood supply to Adductor hallucis
Plantar metatarsal arteries
Innervation to Adductor hallucis
Deep branch of lateral plantar nerve
Function of Adductor hallucis
Adduction of hallux
Origin of Opponens digiti minimi
Base of 5th metatarsal
Long plantar ligament
FDMB
Insertion of Opponens digiti minimi
Lateral shaft of 5th metatarsal and surrounding fascia
