Ankle And Foot SOL Flashcards
Name the 7 tarsal bones
Calcaneus,
Talus,
Navicular
Cuboid
Cuneiform (medial, intermediate, lateral)
Name the 5 Metatarsal bones
First, second, third, fourth, fifth
Name the parts of the phalanges
Proximal, intermediate, distal phalanges
(Big toe only has proximal and distal)
Name the 3 bones that make up the ankle joint
Distal end of tibia, fibula and talus
What type of joint in the ankle?
Hinge joint
What mvmt is available in the ankle
Doris flexion, plantarflexion
Inversion, eversion (subtalar joint)
Weight bearing surface of the ankle joint
Talus dome (axial load)
2 Stabilizing surface of the ankle joint
Lateral and medial malleolus (prevent rotation)
Where is the joint capsule attached?
Medial and lateral malleolus, front and back of talus, strengthened by the lateral and medial ligaments
3 lateral ligament
ATFL - anterior talofibular ligament
PTFL - posterior talofibular ligament
CFL - calcaeofibular ligament
Most commonly injured ligament of the ankle
ATFL
Medial ligament
Deltoid ligaments
What mvmt does ATFL prevent? (2)
Prevent anterior displacement of the talus in respect to the fibula and tibia
Resists inversion in plantarflexion
What mvmt does PTFL prevent?
Resist posterior displacement of the talus
What mvmt does CFL prevent?
Aids talofibular stability during dorsiflexion
Restrain Inversion of the calcaneous with respect to the fibula
What mvmt does medial ligament prevent?
Excessive eversion
Why is the ankle joint at its least stable when in full plantar flexion?
In dorsiflexion, the anterior part of the talus is held in the mortise, and the joint is more stable. BC ant talus is wider
Origin of the gastrocnemius (2 heads)
Medial head: medial condyle of femur and adductor tubercle
Lateral head: lateral condyle of femur
Insertion of gastrocnemius
Fuse with soleus tendon
Insert onto posterior calcaneus via calcaneal tendon/achilles tendon
Innervation of gastrocnemius
Tibial N (S1,2)
action of gastrocnemius
Ankle plantarflexion
Knee flexion
Origin of soleus
Post surface of the head and upper 1/3 of proximal fibula
Soleal line of tibia
Insertion of Soleus
Posterior calcaneus via the calcaneal tendon
Innervation of Soleus
Tibial N (S1, 2)
