3 Structure IDs- Ankle & Foot (Muscles/Ligaments) Flashcards
Talocrural fibrous capsule
Attachments: from the borders of the articular surfaces of the tibia & malleoli to the margins of the trochlear surface of the talus
Medial collateral (deltoid)
Attachments: from the medial malleolus to the talus, navicular & sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus
Function: stabilizes joint & resists forced eversion
Lateral ligaments of the ankle
Posterior talofibular, calcaneofibular, lateral talocalcaneal, & anterior talofibular
Function: stabilize joint and resist forced inversion
Long plantar
Attachments: from the plantar surface of the calcaneus & cuboid to the plantar surface of the bases of the metatarsals
Plantar calcaneocuboid
Attachments: from the calcaneus to the plantar surface of the cuboid
Plantar calcaneonavicular
Attachments: from the anterior margin of the sustentaculum tali to the plantar surface of the navicular
Function: supports the medial longitudinal arch of the foot
Abductor digiti minimi (S1-2)
Attachments: from calcaneal tuberosity to lateral side of proximal phalangeal base of 5th digit
Actions: abducts & flexes 5th digit
Innervation: lateral plantar n.
Abductor hallucis (L4-S1)
Attachments: from medial calcaneal tuberosity to medial side of proximal phalangeal base of great toe
Actions: flexes & abducts great toe
Innervation: medial plantar n.
Adductor hallucis (S1-2)
Attachments: from 2-4 metatarsal bases (oblique head) & distal ends of 3-5 metatarsal (transverse head) to lateral base of proximal phalanx of great toe
Actions: adducts great toe
Innervation: lateral plantar n.
Extensor digitorum brevis (L4-S1; medial slip is extensor hallucis brevis)
Attachments: from anterolateral calcaneus to dorsal aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx (digit 1 for EHB) or to the lateral side of tendons of extensor digitorum longus (digits 2-4 for EDB)
Actions: extension of digits 2-5 (MP & IP; EDB) and extension of digit 1 (EHB)
Innervation: deep fibular n.
Extensor hallucis brevis (L4-S1)
Attachments: from extensor digitorum brevis to dorsal aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx of the hallux
Action: extension of great toe at metatarsophalangeal joint
Innervation: deep fibular n.
Quadratus plantae (S1-2)
Attachments: from medial surface of calcaneus & lateral process of calcaneal tuberosity to long flexor tendons
Actions: assists flexor digitorum longus
Innervation: lateral plantar n.
Flexor digitorum brevis (L4-S1)
Attachments: from medial process of calcaneal tuberosity to sides of intermediate phalanges of digits 2-5
Actions: flexes toes (proximal IP)
Innervation: medial plantar n.
Flexor digiti minimi brevis (S1-2)
Attachments: from 5th metatarsal base to proximal phalangeal base
Actions: flexion of 5th digit (MP)
Innervation: lateral plantar n.
Flexor hallucis brevis (L4-S1)
Attachments: from cuboid & tendon of tibialis posterior to base of the proximal phalanx of great toe
Actions: flexion of great toe (MP)
Innervation: medial plantar n.
