Ankle: Anatomy 3 Flashcards
STJ is what type of joint?
uniaxial
synovial
STJ: How many articulations with the tibia?
3
STJ: location of 3 articular facets with the tibia
2 anterior
1 posterior
Axis of the STJ is (uni/bi/tri)planar
triplanar
The triplanar axis of the STJ travels from where to where?
FROM lateral/posterior/inferior
TO medial/anterior/superior
STJ OKC movement components:
pronation
CALCANEAL EVERSION
forefoot dorsiflexion and abduction
STJ OKC movement components:
supination
- Calcaneal inversion
- forefoot adduction and plantarflexion
STJ CKC movement components:
pronation
- CALCANEAL EVERSION
- adduction and PF of head of the talus
STJ CKC movement components:
supination
- calcaneal inversion
- abduction and dorsiflexion of the head of the talus
During gait, this STJ motion allows the MTJ to unlock and become flexible to the surface
pronation
During gait, this STJ motion allows the MTJ to become more rigid for propulsion
supination
Medial rotation of the leg causes a (valgus/varus) movement of the calcaneus
valgus
Lateral rotation of the leg causes a (valgus/varus) movement of the calcaneus
varus
Joints of the midfoot: Which are they?
- talocalcaneonavicular
- calcaneocuboid
- cuboideonavicular
- intercuneiform
- cuneocuboid
midfoot joints: resting position
midway between pronation and supination
midfoot joints: closed packed position
supination
midfoot joints: capsular pattern
DF > PF > adduction > medial rotation (inv)
midfoot joints: arthrokinematics around these axes
longitudinal
oblique
midfoot joints:
During pronation/supination, which bones are moving primarily?
navicular
cuboid
midfoot joints: During supination (inversion), the concave navicular rolls and glides (direction) on the convex talus
superiorly
laterally
