What are the 2 terminal branches of the dorsal pedis artery?

A
  1. Deep plantar artery

2. 1st dorsal metatarsal artery

24
Q

What forms the dorsal venous arch?

A

Tributaries of dorsal digital veins –> dorsal metatarsal veins –> medial marginal vein

25
Q

What does the lateral marginal vein drain into?

A

Small saphenous vein

26
Q

What are the plantar surface of the foot cutaneous nerves?

A
  1. Saphenous nerve
  2. Lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve
  3. Calcaneal branches
  4. Medial plantar nerve

30
Q

What area does the lateral plantar nerve innervate?

A
  1. Lateral 1 1/2 digits
31
Q

What are the contents of the deep fascia in the plantar foot?

A
  1. Flexor retinaculum

2. Plantar aponeurosis

32
Q

  2. Tibialis posterior (Tom)
  3. Flexor digitorum (Dick)
  4. Flexor hallucis (Harry)
33
Q

Plantar aponeurosis

A
  1. Supports longitudinal arches of foot
  2. Extends from calcaneous to toes
  3. Divides foot into 3 compartments
34
Q

How many layers of muscles are in the plantar foot?

A

4

35
Q

What muscles are in the first layer?

A
  1. Abductor hallucis
  2. Flexor digitorum brevis
  3. Abdcutor digiti minimi
36
Q

What is the action of the 1st layer of muscles?

A

Flexors of the foot

37
Q

Abductor Hallucis O and I

A

O: tuberosity of calcaneus
I: base of 1st proximal phalanx

38
Q

Flexor digitorum brevis O and I

A

O: Tuberosity of calcaneous and part of plantar aponeurosis
I: Middle phalanx of lateral 4 toes

39
Q

Abductor digiti minimi O and I

A

O: Tuberosity of calcaneous
I: base of 5th proximal phalanx

40
Q

What are the muscles in the second layer?

A

2 muscles and 2 tendons

  1. Flexor digitorum longus tendon
  2. Flexor hallucis longus tendon
  3. Quadratus plantae
  4. Lumbrical muscles
41
Q

What are the lumbricals a tendon to?

A

Flexor digitorum longus

42
Q

What are the muscle in the 3rd layer?

A
  1. Peroneus longus tendon

  4. Dorsal interossei muscles (4)
43
Q

Describe the plantar interossei muscles

A
  • Not one on the big toe or 2nd toe
  • 2nd toe is the central toe ergo it can’t a-dduct to itself
  • big toe has the adductor hallucis
44
Q

Describe the Dorsal interossi muscles

A
  • 2nd toe has 2 of these muscles
  • A-Bducttor muscles
  • 1st and baby toe don’t have one
45
Q

What are the branches from the tibial nerve in the foot?

A
  1. Medial calcaneal which branches into the next 2
  2. Medial plantar nerve
  3. Lateral plantar nerve
46
Q

What muscles does the medial plantar nerve innervate?

A
  1. abductor hallucis
  2. Flexor digitorum brevis
  3. Flexor hallucis brevis
  4. 1st lumbrical
47
Q

Describe the medial plantar nerve

A
  1. Between the 1st and 2nd layer of muscles

2. divides into 3 common plantar digital nerves which give rise to 2 proper digital nerves

48
Q

Describe the lateral plantar nerve

A
  1. Branches to 4th common plantar digital nerve
  2. Provides cutaneous branches to lateral 1 1/2 digits
  3. Provides motor branches to rest of intrinsic muscles
