19
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments of Flexor Hallucis Brevis?

A

L4-S1

Medial Plantar N

20
Q

What are the attachments of Flexor Hallucis Brevis?

A

From cuboid and tendon of tibialis posterior to base of the proximal phalanx of great toe

21
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments and innervation of Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis?

A

S1-2

Lateral Plantar N

22
Q

What are the attachments of Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis?

A

From 5th metatarsal base to proximal phalangeal base.

23
Q

What are the muscles in the 4th layer of the foot?

A

Dorsal Interossei

Plantar Interossei

24
Q

What are the common spinal cord segments and innervation of the dorsal and plantar interossei?

A

S1-2

Lateral Plantar N

25
Q

What are the attachments of the dorsal interossei?

A

From metatarsal shafts to proximal phalangeal bases and dorsal expansions of digits 2-4.

26
Q

What are the attachments of the plantar interossei?

A

From plantar surface of base of metatarsals to dorsal digital expansions of digits 3-5.

27
Q

What are the relative positions of the tendons that pass posterior to the medial malleous?

A

Tibialis Posterior
Flexor Digitorum Longus
Flexor Hallucis Longus

28
Q

What two nerves foes the tibial nerve branch into after it passes posterior to the medial malleolus?

A

Medial and lateral plantar nerves

29
Q

Describe the branching of the medial plantar nerve

A

Medial plantar nerve gives rise to the common plantar digital nerves that innervate digits 1-3, and those give rise to the proper plantar digital nerves.

30
Q

Describe the branching of the lateral plantar nerve.

A

Lateral plantar nerve gives rise to a superficial branch that innervates the 4th and 5th digit. The superficial branch gives rise to a common plantar digital nerve.

Lateral plantar nerve also gives rise to a deep branch that goes to the deeper layers of foot.

31
Q

Where would you take the medial malleolar pulse?

A

Posterior to the medial malleolus or posterior to Flexor Hallucis longus

32
Q

Where would you take the dorsalis pedis pulse?

A

Lateral to extensor hallucis longus. or just over where talus and navicular bones articulate.

33
Q

Primary movements of foot at the ankle joint?

A

Plantar flexion
Dorsiflexion
Inversion
Eversion

34
Q

What are the attachments of the talocrural fibrous capsule?

A

From the borders of the articular surfaces of tibia and malleoli to the margins of the trochlear surface of the talus

35
Q

What are the attachments of the medial collateral (deltoid) ligament?

A

From the medial malleolus to the talus, navicular and sustentaculum tali of the calcaneous.

36
Q

What is the function of the medial collateral (deltoid) ligament?

A

Stabilizes joint and resists forced eversion.
