Q

WHat nerve supplies the majority of the cutaneous dorsum of the foot?

A

the superficial fibular nerve

the deep fibular nerve just does the area between the 1st and 2nd toes and the surfal nerve does the very lateral part

Q

Why are so many ligaments and cartilage layers necessary for the knee?

A

because it’s inherently unstable since the condyles are round and the tibial plateau is flat

Q

What ligaments run down the sides of the knee?

A

the fibular collateral ligament

the tibial collateral ligament

20
Q

When are the collateral ligaments taut?

A

when the knee is extended

21
Q

What are the 2 instrinsic ligaments in the knee joint?

A

the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament

22
Q

Where do the ACL and PCL attach? What is their function?

A

ACL attaches anteriorly on the tibia = prevents hyperestension (posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur

PCL attaches posteriorly on the tibia = prevents anterior displacement of the femur or posterior displacement of the tibia.

23
Q

The PCL tightens during knee…

A

flexion

24
Q

Which is stronger, the ACL or PCL?

A

PCL

25
Q

What are the menisci?

A

they are concave fibrocartilage pads on the tibia that cradles the founded femoral condyles

they are shock absorbers

attach to the articular cartilage paripherally.

26
Q

What areas of the menisci will heal better?

A

the outer portions - they get their blood supply peripherally

27
Q

What shape is the medial meniscus?lateral meniscus?

A

medial is c-shaped

the lateral is circular

28
Q

Why do injuries to the tibial collateral ligament often involve the medial meniscus as well?

Why is the same not true for the lateral meniscus and the fibular collateral ligament?

A

because the medial meniscus is attached firmly to the tibial collateral ligament.

it’s not the case for the lateral meniscus because the fibular collateral ligament is separated from the joint by the popliteus muscle

29
Q

What nerve is the most commonly injured nerve in the body? Why?

A

the common fibular nerve

it’s superficially located against the head of the fibula

30
Q

What major symptoms comes with common fibular nerve injury?

A

foot drop = paralysis of dorsiflexors and evertors of the foot

associated with a high steppage gait

31
Q

What happens in compartment syndrome?

A

it’s an overuse injury where muscles swell within a closed compartment

the pressure causes loss of muscle and nerve function

32
Q

what is the treatment for an emergent compartment syndrome?

A

a fasciotomy to relieve the pressure

33
Q

What is a mild compartment syndrome in the anterior compartment known as?

A

shin splints

34
Q

What are the four bursa of the knee that communicate with the synovial cavity?

Which three do NOT communicate with the cavity?

A

suprapatellar bursa

popliteus bursa

gastrocnemius bursa

semimembranous bursa

and these don’t:

subcutaneous prepatellar bursa

subcutaneous infraptellar bursa

deep infrapatellar bursa

35
Q

Bursitis of what bursa causes housemaid’s knee?

A

subcutaneous prepatellar bursa

36
Q

bursitis of what bursa causes clergyman’s knee?

A

subcutaneous infraptellar bursa

37
Q

What happens in ski boot syndrome?

A

compression of the deep fibular nerve deep to the inferior band of the extensor retinacuum

usually from wearing a tight shoe

symptoms include pain in the dorsum of foot radiating to 1st and 2nd web space. Also associated with edema in the anterior compartment of the leg.

38
Q

The cruciate ligaments of the knee are ____ the joint capsule but ____ the synovial membrane.

A

inside the joint capsule

outside of the synovial membrane

39
Q

What happens in the unhappy triad?

A

a football injury caused by a blow to the lateral side of the knee

tears the:

ACL

medial meniscus

tibial collateral ligament

40
Q

What is the most commonly injured joint in the body?

A

the talocrural joint of the ankle.

41
Q

Which ligaments are injured in an eversion sprain? An inversion sprain?

A

the deltoid (medial) ligaments are sprained in an eversion

the lateral collateral ligaments are sprained in an inversion (much more common)

42
Q

What is a pott’s fracture?

A

in forced eversion of the foot, the deltoid ligaments are strained and can avulse the medial malleolus

the talus moves laterally and breaks the distal fibula

43
Q

Which ligament is most commonly sprained in the ankle?

A

anterior talofibular ligament

44
Q

WHy are children more likely to break their ankles than sprain them?

A

their ligaments are very tough
