ankle and foot Flashcards
where does the talocrural fibrous capsule attach
borders of articular surfaces of tibia and malleoli
to margins of trochlear surface of talus
wherer does the medial collateral (deltoid) ligament attach
medial malleolus to talus
navicular
sustentaculum tali of calcaneous
what is the function of the deltoid ligament
stabilizes joint
resists talocrural and subtalar eversion
where does the posterior talofibular lig attach
malleolar fossas of the fibula
lateral tubercule of talus
what does the posterior talofibular lig do
restricts talocrural inversion
where does the calcaneofibular lig attach
tip of lateral malleolus
lateral surface calcaneous
what does the calcaneofibular lig do
resists calcaneal/subtalar inversion
where does the anterior talofibular lig attach
anterior lateral malleolus of the fibula
neck of the talus
what does the anterior talofibular lig do
resists talocrural inversion and
anterior translation of talus
where does the long plantar lig attach
plantar surface calcenus and cuboid
to plantar surface bases of metatarsals
where does plantar calcaneocuboid lig (short plantar lig) attach
calcaneus
plantar surface of cuboid
where does plantar calcaneonavicular (spring lig) attach
anterior margin of sustentaculum tali
plantar surfaace naviular
what joint is considered the mortise
talocrural
which ligaments stabilizie the tibia and fibula
- interosseus membrane
- anterior inferior tibiofibular lig
what kind of joint is the talocrural
hinge
