Anatomy Quiz #4 Flashcards
movement of the forefoot away from the midline of the body (transverse plane, vertical axis)
abduction (of the forefoot)
movement of the forefoot towards the midline of the body (transverse plane, vertical axis)
adduction (of the forefoot):
a combination movement of dorsiflexion, eversion, forefoot abduction
pronation
a combination movement of plantar flexion, inversion, forefoot adduction
supination
What type of joint is the proximal tibiofibular joint?
Synovial and plane
What two actions happen at the tibiofibular joint?
limited superior and posterior glide (with dorsiflexion)
limited inferior and anterior glide (with plantar flexion)
Name the attachments of the Anterior ligament of the fibular head
anterior proximal tibia ⬄ anterior proximal fibula
Name the attachments of the posterior ligament of the fibular head
posterior proximal tibia ⬄ posterior proximal fibula
What type of joint is the distal tibiofibular joint?
fibrous
What type of joint is that talocrural joint?
synovial, hinge joint
What actions happen at the talocrural joint?
dorsiflexion
plantar flexion
What happens at the talocrural joint during dorsiflexion with regards to the tibiofibular joint?
the talus forces the tibia and fibula apart which affects the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints
Which three bones form the talocrural joint?
the distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with the trochlea (dome) of the talus
Which four ligaments make up the deltoid ligament?
anterior tibiotalar, tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, posterior tibiotalar
What are the attachment points of the deltoid ligament?
medial malleolus ⬄ tarsal bones of the medial foot
What motion do the deltoid ligaments check?
eversion of the ankle
What type of fracture is associated with the deltoid ligaments
Avulsion fracture
What motions are checked by the Anterior talofibular ligament?
inversion (esp. when ankle is plantar flexed)
most commonly injured ligament in the foot (95% of ankle sprains)
Anterior talofibular ligament
How is the Anterior talofibular ligament palpated?
The sinus tarsi
What motions are checked by the calcaneofibular ligament?
Inversion (when foot is neutral)
Where is the Subcutaneous calcaneal (a.k.a. retrocalcaneal) bursa?
between the Achilles tendon and the overlying skin
Where is the Subtendinous calcaneal (a.k.a. retrocalcaneal) bursa?
Between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus
Which bones form the subtalar joint?
The inferior aspect of the talus articulates with the superior calcaneus
Which motions are available at the subtalar joint?
Inversion and eversion
What type of joint is the subtalar joint?
Synovial, plane
What type of joint is the talocalcaneonavicular joint?
Synovial, ball and socket
Which motions are available at the talocalcaneonavicular joint?
Inversion and eversion (helps increase the range)
What does the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (aka spring ligament) do?
helps maintain the medial longitudinal arch by supporting the head of the talus. If this ligament is stretched, the head of the talus can sink resulting in a flat foot (pes planus)
What kind of joint is the calcaneaocuboid joint?
Synovial, plane
