Answer 7

medial plantar nerve(from tibial nerve)

Question 8

what nerve innervates quadratus plantaee and abductor digiti minimi?

Answer 8

lateral plantar nerve (from tibial nerve)

Answer 9

superficial fibular

Question 10

which cutaneous nerve covers the little crouch type area between the 1st and second (dorsal foot)?

Answer 10

deep fibular

Question 11

Answer 12

the tibial

Question 13

what cutaneous nerve supplies the tips of toes 1-3 and half of 4?

Answer 13

medial plantar

Question 14

what cutaneous nerve supplies the tips of toe 5 and half of 4?

Answer 14

lateral plantar

Question 15

what cutaneous nerve supplies the lateral ankle?

Answer 15

saphenous

Question 16

outline the origins of :
FHL, FDL and TP

Answer 16

TP: interrosseus + tibia + fibula

FHL: fibula + interosseus

FDL: JUST medial tibia

Question 17

what innervates the skin between the 1st and 2nd toes?

Answer 17

terminal branches of deep fibula. can used to monitor the status of deep fibular nerve (i.e. foot drop)

Question 18

where does the deep fibula nerve go?

Answer 18

right down over the ant surface of the leg with the anterior tibial artery and follows it over the ankle into the foot between the 1st and 2nd toes

deep fibular

Question 21

where do EHB and EDB originate from?

Answer 21

superolateral aspect of calcaneus

Question 22

what innervates flexor digitorum brevis?

Answer 22

medial plantar

Question 23

what is the plantar equivalent of the “arcuate “ artery

Answer 23

deep plantar arch

Question 24

what else originates from the same place that the plantar aponeurosis(pfascia) originates i.e. plantar calc @ ant calcaneal tubercle

Answer 24

abductor halluces
FDB

Question 25

what innervates FDB?

Answer 25

medial plantar nerve from tibial nerve

what do we call the retinaculum that holds in the tendons laterally (peroneals)

Answer 27

superior fibular retinaculum

inferior fibular retinaculum

Question 28

which is more superficial: FDL or FDB?

Answer 28

FDB runs on top of FDL

Question 29

where does the great saphenous vein run? in comparison to the small saphenous vein?

Answer 29

great runs more anteromedially down the leg into the foot anteromedially.

small runs posteriorly along the tibia and postero- laterally into the foot
