Q

Layer 3

A

Flexor hallucis brevis

ADductor hallucis

Flexor digiti minimi brevis

17
Q

Flexor Hallucis Brevis

A

Layer 3: 2 bellies along hallux

Insertion: 2 tendons w/ sesamoids proximal phalanx of hallux

Action: flex hallux - MTP

Sesamoid embedded tendon - provide leverage, hold in place, protect from compression

18
Q

ADductor Hallucis

A

Layer 3: looks like a 7

Transverse and oblique heads

Insertion: proximal phalanx

Action: ADduct hallux - MTP

19
Q

Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis

A

Action: flex digit 5 - MTP

20
Q

Layer 4

A

3 plantar interossei

4 dorsal interossei

21
Q

Plantar Interossei

A

Layer 4: 3 total

Action: ADduct MTP joints of 3-5

PAD: plantar ADduct

22
Q

Dorsal Interossei

A

Layer 4: 4 total

Action: ABduct MTP joints of 2-4

DAB: dorsal ABduct

2 on either 2nd
1 per 3rd and 4th

23
Q

Tibial Nerve Branches

A

Lateral plantar N
(S2-3)

Medial plantar N
(S2-3)

24
Q

Medial Plantar Nerve

A

S2-3

Motor: LAFF

  • 1st lumbrical
  • ABductor hallucis
  • Flexor hallucis brevis
  • Flexor digitorum brevis

Sensory:

  • medial aspect of sole
  • tips & plantar aspects of medial 3 1/2
25
Q

Lateral Plantar Nerve

A

S2-3

Motor:

  • ABductor digit minimi
  • Flexor digiti minimi brevis
  • Quadratus plantae
  • ADductor hallucis
  • Lateral 2 lumbricals
  • All interossei

Sensory:

  • lateral aspect of sole
  • tips & plantar aspects of lateral 1 1/2 digits
26
Q

Plantar Arteries

A

Divisions of tibial artery:

  • Lateral plantar A
  • Medial plantar A

Anastomose

27
Q

Medial Plantar Artery

A

Supplies

  • sf tissues of sole
  • muscles of hallux

Gives rise to:
-superficial plantar arch (superior to flexor digitorum brevis)

-plantar digital arteries to hallux and med side of digit 2 (anastomose with branches from lateral plantar artery)

28
Q

Lateral Plantar Artery

A

Lateral plantar artery –> deep plantar arch (bt 3rd and 4th layers) –> plantar metatarsal arteries –> plantar digital arteries

Plantar digital arteries anastomose with branches from medial plantar artery

29
Q

Plantar Veins

A

Deep plantar veins –> fibular & posterior tibial veins

SF plantar veins –> small saphenous (med) & great saphenous (lateral) veins
