A

> 10˚ valgus

> 5˚ varus

17
Q

Calcaneal fractures: Rehab

When to begin ROM and manual therapy

A

As soon as pt is weight bearing

18
Q

Calcaneal fractures: Rehab

Manual therapy for…

A

Talocrural
Subtalar
Midfoot
Toes

19
Q

Metatarsal fractures: account for (%) of ankle/foot fractures

A

< 2%

20
Q

Metatarsal fractures: Often associated with what injury

A

Ankle sprains at the 5th MTP

21
Q

Metatarsal fractures: Why associated with ankle sprains at the 5th MTP?

A

Due to strong contraction of peroneus brevis during twisting injury

22
Q
