Q

Pes anserinus bursitis

A

The anserine bursa, along with its associated medial hamstring tendons, is located along the proximomedial aspect of the tibia. Pes anserinus bursitis is a common finding in patients and/or athletes who present with complaints of anterior knee pain. This condition is usually found in patients who have tight hamstrings, although it also can be caused by trauma (e.g., a direct blow). In most patients, pes anserine bursitis is a self-limiting condition that responds to a program of hamstring stretching and quadriceps strengthening.

Q

Tibialis Anterior

A

Deep Fibular Nerve

Most medial and superficial dorsiflexor of anterior compartment. Lies on lateral surface of the tibia. It is the strongest dorsiflexor but also inverts the foot because of its attachment to the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal.

Q

Anterior compartment and posterior tibial syndromes

A

Injury causes muscle expansion and swelling in a closed compartment; increased pressure causes loss of muscle and nerve function; this is an orthopedic emergency. a fasciotomy can be done to relieve the pressure in the compartment which would eventually cut off the blood supply and kill the muscles.

Shin splints are a mild compartment syndrome in anterior compartment (tibialis anterior sprain)

Q

Deep Fibular Nerve Entrapment

A

“Ski Boot Syndrome”

often caused by a tight ski boot or other type of shoe (also in sports with running). Produces pain in the dorsum of the foot and usually radiates to the web space between the 1st and 2nd toes. This is caused by compression of the deep fibular nerve deep to the inferior band of the extensor retinaculum and the extensor hallucis brevis. Associated with edema in anterior compartment of leg.

Tears of the menisci present as _________; a tear is usually _______

A

Crescentic plates of fibrocartilage that lie on the articular surface of the tibia-tibial plateau

b. They deepen the articular surface of the tibia for the femoral condyles
