12/6 Ankle + Foot Flashcards
what ligaments make up the inferior tibiofibular joint?
anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments
what do the inferior tibiofibular ligaments do?
hold the malleoli of the tibia and fibula together to create a socket for the talocrural articulation
what does the talus do?
receives weight of the body directly from the tibia
transmits weight to the rest of the foot via ligaments
what muscle compartment does dorsiflexion of the ankle
anterior compartment of the leg
what muscle compartment does plantar flexion of the ankle
posterior and lateral compartments of the leg
what is the action that all muscles with tendons that cross anterior to the malleoli do?
dorsiflexion
what is the action that all muscles with tendons that cross posterior to the malleoli do?
plantarflexion
where is the joint capsule of the ankle thin? where is it strengthened?
thin anteriorly and posteriorly, strengthened medially and laterally
how is the joint capsule of the ankle strengthened medially and laterally?
via collateral ligaments
three ligaments that contribute to the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle
anterior talofibular ligament
posterior talofibular ligament
calcaneofibular ligament
four parts of the medial collateral ligament of the ankle
tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, anterior tibiotalar, posterior tibiotalar
how is the medial collateral ligament of the ankle clinically approached?
as one ligament despite having four parts
subtalar joint is made of what, generally?
articulation of the talus and calcaneus
what specifically articulates in the subtalar joint?
posterior calcaneal facet of talus with posterior talar facet of calcaneus
what actions occur at the subtalar and transverse tarsal joint?
inversion and eversion of the ankle
what two joints make up the transverse tarsal joint?
talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint
skin of the dorsal surface of the foot is
thin with loose subcutaneous tissue (lots of edema when injured)
skin of the plantar surface of the foot is
thick with highly developed skin ligaments with fat-filled shock-absorbing pads
deep fascia of the foot, dorsal surface is
thin and continuous with the inferior extensor retinaculum
deep fascia of the foot, plantar surface is
made up of fascia and aponeurosis (centrally the thickest)
where does the plantar fascia originate from
calcaneus posteriorly
where does the plantar fascia extend to
superficial transverse metatarsal ligament anteriorly, with continuation onto the 5 fibrous digital sheaths
what are the first layer foot muscles?
abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi
what innervates the first layer foot muscles? what is the exception?
medial plantar nerve (from tibial nerve)
abductor digiti minimi is innervated by lateral plantar nerve
what are the second layer foot muscles?
quadratus plantae, lumbricals
what innervates the second layer foot muscles? what is the exception?
lateral plantar nerve (from tibial nerve)
medial 1 lumbrical is innervated by medial plantar nerve
what does quadratus plantae do
inserts on flexor digitorum longus to assist FDL in flexion of the lateral 4 digits and insures there is no medial deviation
where do the lumbricals arise from
off of flexor digitorum longus and inserts on the dorsal side of phalanyx
what are the third layer foot muscles?
flexor hallucis brevis, adductor hallucis, flexor digiti minimi brevis
flexor hallucis brevis innervation
medial plantar nerve
