Q

What are the s/s of morton’s neuroma?

A
  • severe intermittent pain radiating into the tips of the toes from the distal met heads
  • Relief with NWB
  • Irritation with collapse of the transverse arch which puts the transverse metatarsal ligaments under stretch thus compressing the common digital nerve and vessels
  • Excessive foot pronation = predisposing factor
  • Patient c/o burning parasthesia in the forefoot, localized in 3rd web space, radiating into toes

excessive PRON

21
Q

What is the MOI for 5th MET Fx?

A

rigid pes cavus foot

22

A

6-8 weeks

23
Q

Those with 2nd Met Fx should have modified rest and NWB exercise/pool running/UBE/Bike/Nu-step for ___-__ weeks

A

2-4 weeks

24
Q

What is immediately indicated for active patients if they have a navicular and/or 5th met FX?

immediate internal fixation

25
Q

What is the common presentation of plantar fasciitis/fasciosis?

A
  • Pain in the proximal arch and heel
  • Patient c/o pain in the anteromedial aspect of the heel
  • Most painful in the morning
  • Pain with toes and forefoot DF during terminal stance
26
Q

Those with plantar fasciitis/fasciosis are in a Short leg walking cast for ___-___ weeks

A

4-6 weeks

27
Q

Symptoms of plantar fasciitis/fasciosis can persist up to ____ weeks which requires patient compliance with POC

A

12 weeks

28
Q

What is the most common ankle sprain?

A

Inversion sprains

29
Q

What is the weakest ligament of the three lateral ligaments?

A

ATFL

30
Q

(true/false) Deltoid ligament may also be involved with an inversion sprain due to impingement between the fibular malleolus and the calcaneus.

A

true

31
Q

Why are eversion sprains less common than inversion sprains?

A
  • bony and ligamentous anatomy
  • strength/thickness of deltoid ligaments
  • fibular malleoli extends further inferiorly
32
Q

(true/false) Eversion sprains may take longer to heal than inversion due to severity of injury

A

true

33
Q

What is the initial priority for rehabilitation of ankle sprains?

A

DF and PF

34
Q

What is minimized early in rehabilitation when treating an ankle sprain?

A

Inversion and eversion

35
Q

Dislocation of the peroneal tendons occur in response to what?

A

due to rupture or laxity of the retinaculum

36
Q

What can possibly occur with subluxation/dislocation of the peroneal tendons?

A

Avulsion fx of the distal fibula may co-occur with sublux or dislocation

37
Q

What are the MOIs for subluxation/dislocation of the peroneal tendons?

A
  • Sudden forceful contraction of the peroneal muscles with DF and Eversion
  • Pt feels or hears a “pop” and complain of ”giving way”
38
Q

A

PF

39
Q
