Anatomy Of Foot Flashcards
What bone of the foot has no muscle attachments
Talus
What bones do the calcsneus articulate with
Cuboid and talus
What landmark helps support the talus
Talar shelf (sustentaculum tali)
What bones do the navicular articulate with
Head of talus
3 cuneiforms
What groove is anterior to the cuboid guberosity
Groove for fib Longus tendon
What kind of joint is the proximal tibiofibular joint
Plane synovial
Only gliding movement
What kind of joint is the distal tibiofibular ?
Syndesmosis
Connects two bones together
What are the sydesmoticm ligaments
Anterior tibiofibular
Posterior tibiofibular
Interosseous tibiofibular
What kind of joint is the talocrural joint.
Hinge synovial joint
1 plane of motion
2 or more bones
What is the mortis in the talocrural joint
Tibia
Fibula
Ptfl
Is the trochlea wider anterior or posterior
ANTERIOR
How do you determine the side of talus?
The head points toward the great toe
What makes up the deltoid lig
Anterior tibiotalar l
Tibionavicular l
Tibiocalcaneal l
Posterior tibiotalar l
What does the deltoid ligament check
EVERSION
T/f the deltoid ligament is extremely strong
true
How is the ankle most commonly sprained
PF and IV
What are the 3
Lateral ligaments
Anterior talofibular
Calcaenofibular
Posteriortalofibular
What is the strongest lateral ligament of the foot
PTFL
What is the weakest ligament of the foot
ATFL
When do the lateral foot ligaments become taught
INVERSION
What kind of joint is the subtalar joint
Synovial plane joint
(Anterior middle and posterior facet)
Where is the subtalar joint
Where the talus rests on and articulates with the calcaneus
T/f anatomically the subtalar joint has its own capsule and articulate activity
TRUE
T/f functionally the subtalar joint includes the TCN bc it cannot move independently
TRUE
What is club foot of the subtalar joint
Foot is IV
ankle is PF
forefoot is ADDUCTED
What separates the components of the clinical subtalar joint
Tarsal sinus
