How is stability of the ankle joint assessed?
Anterior translation
Inversion and Eversion
How can we assess the integrity of the tibiofibular joints?
Compression
External rotation
What movements occur at the subtalar joint?
Pronation and supination
What are the main ligaments that support the subtalar joint?
Tibiocalcaneal ligament
Calcaneofibular ligament
Talocalcaneal interosseus ligament
Cervical ligament
What ligaments provide support to the transverse tarsal joint?
Long plantar ligament
Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
Tibionavicular ligament
Short plantar ligament
What type of joint is the inferior tibialfibular joint?
Fibrous Syndesmosis
What articulates with the inferior tibiofibular joint?
Medial surface of the inferior end of the fibula articulates with a facet on the inferior end of the tibia
What ligaments are associated with the inferior tibiofibular joint?
Interosseous tibiofibular ligament
Anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligaments
Inferior transverse tibiofibular ligament
What type of joint is the ankle joint?
Hinge synovial
What does the ankle joint articulate with?
Inferior surface forms the roof of the malleolar mortise transferring the body’s weight to the talus
Medial malleolus articulates with medial surface of the trochlea of the talus
What are the lateral ligaments of the ankle joint?
Anterior talofibular ligament
Posterior talofibular ligament
Calcaneofibular ligament
What are the medial ligaments of the ankle joint?
Tibionavicular
Tibiocalcaneal
Anterior and posterior tibiotalar
(All make up the medial deltoid ligament)
What is movement in the ankle joint?
Dorsiflexion
Plantarflexion
What type of joint is the subtalar joint?
Plane synovial
What are the articulating surfaces of the subtalar joint?
Inferior surface of body of talus (posterior calcaneal articular facet) with superior surface of calcaneus (posterior talar articular surface)
What are the ligaments associated with the subtalar joints?
Medial, lateral, and posterior talocalcaneal ligaments
Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament
What is the movement of the subtalar joint?
Inversion and Eversion
What is the blood supply to the subtalar joint?
Posterior tibial and fibular arteries
What is the nerve supply to the subtalar joint?
Plantar aspect- medial or lateral plantar nerve
Dorsal aspect- deep fibular nerve
What type of joint is the talocalcaneonavicular joint?
Synovial ball and socket
What are the articulating surfaces of the talocalcaneonavicular joint?
Head of talus articulates with calcaneus and navicular bones
