Anterior and Lateral Leg Dorsum of Foot Flashcards
What does the interosseous membrane do?
Provides a surface for muscle attachment
Fibres pass inferolaterally from Tibia to Fibula
Helps resist the downward pull of muscles attached to the fibula
Anterior compartment
4 muscles
Extensors of ankle jt and digits
Tendons anterior to ankle jt
Ankle extension = Dorsiflexion
Lateral compartment
2 Muscles
Evertors of the foot
Tendons posterior to lateral malleolus
Lateral compartment- Peorneus Longus
Head and upper 2/3 of lateral fibula
>base of 1st metatrsal and Medial cuneiform
Superficial Peroneal Nerve (L5, S1, S2)
Lateral compartment-
Perneus Brevis
Inferior 2/3 of lateral Fibula
> Tuberosity on lateral side of base of 5th metatarsal
superficial peroneal nerve
(L5, S1, S2)
Anterior compartment: name 4 muscles and nerve that supplies them?
Tibialis anterior
Extensor digitorium longus
Peroneus tertius
Extensor hallucis longus
All supplied by deep peroneal nerve
-L4,L5
Tibialis anterior
Lat. condyle of Tibia, Sup. ½ of Lat. Tibial surface, Interosseous mem.
→ Med. and Inf. surfaces of Medial Cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal
Dorsiflexes ankle; Inverts foot
Extensor digitorium longus
Lat. Condyle Tibia, Sup. ¾ of med surface Fibula, Interosseous membrane
Middle and distal Phalanges of Lateral 4 digits
Extends lateral 4 digits; Dorsiflexes ankle
Peroneus Tertius
Inf. ⅓ anterior Fibula and Interosseous membrane
Dorsum of base of 5th Metatarsal
Dorsiflexes ankle; Assists in eversion of foot
Extensor Hallucis Longus
Middle ant. surface Fibula, Interosseous membrane
Dorsal aspect of distal Phalanx of Hallux
Extends Hallux; Dorsiflexes ankle
Superior Extensor retinaculum
Ant. Border of Tibia Lower end of Fibula
Inferior extensor retinaculum
(y-shaped)
Stem attached to Calcaneus laterally
Upper Limb attached to Medial Malleolus
Lower Limb passes round medial border of foot to blend with dense fascia over abductor hallucis
Muscles of Dorsum of foot
Superior surface of calcaneus, Inferior extensor retinaculum
> Extensor Hallucis Brevis
> Extensor Digitorum Brevis
Extensor Hallucis Brevis
> Base of proximal phalanx of hallux
Extensor digitorum brevis
> Long extensor tendons of toes 2-4
Deep peroneal nerve
L5/S1
Superficial peroneal nerve
Branch of common peroneal between peroneus longus and neck of fibula
Lateral compartment of leg supplying muscles and continuing as cutaneous nerve
Cutaneous innervation to distal anterior surface of leg and most of dorsum of foot
Deep peroneal nerve
Branch of common peroneal between peroneus longus and neck of fibula
Passes through extensor digitorum longus and travels with anterior tibial a. supplying all anterior compartment mm.
Crosses the ankle jt. to supply ext. digitorum brevis and ext. hallucis brevis
Cutaneous innervation to skin between digits 1 and 2
what gives anterior and posterior tibial aa.?
Popliteal artery
where does the anterior tibial artery pass through?
Interosseous membrane and descends on this
What does posterior tibial artery give?
Fibular artery that provides perforating branches to lateral compartment
Dorsalis Pedis artery is a continuation of what?
Anterior Tibial artery
Branches of Dorsalis Pedis
Lateral tarsal artery
Deep plantar artery (sole of foot)
Arcuate artery
Where does the arcuate artery run across?
Arcuate artery runs across metatarsals to anastomose with Lateral tarsal artery
