20 df
50 pf
35 inversion
15 eversion
Talocrural joint is between which segments
Leg and rear foot
Transverse tarsal joint is between
rear foot and mid foot
Tarso metatarsal joints are between
Mid foot and forefoot
Rear foot includes
Talus calcaneus
Subtalar joint
mid foot includes
navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
Transverse arch
Medial longitudinal arch
forefoot
metatarsals phalanges
proximal tibiofibular joint
Planar synovial joint with capsule
tibia convex fibula concave
Accommodates motion occurring at ankle
motion- Superior/inferior glide and AP oblique glide
Tibiofibular joint during ankle dorsiflexion
Fibula laterally rotates and moves superior posterior
tibiofibular joint during knee flexion and extension
Flexion- anterior glide
Extension - posterior glide
distal tibiofibula joint
fibrous syndesmosis
Concave tibia , convex fibula
Maintain a stable ankle mortise
Talocrural joint
synovial
Modified sellar or hinge joint uniaxial
1° of freedom dorsiflexion and plantarflexion
talocrural joint open and close positions
open- 10° plantar flexion
Close - end range dorsiflexion
talus and mortice shape
convex talus
concave mortise (plafond)
does talus have muscular attachment?
no
limited blood supply too
