A
- head of fibula
- tibial tuberosity
- lateral malleolus
- medial malleolus
2
Q
posterior features of tibia and fibula
A
- condyles
- soleal line
- lateral and medial malleolus
3
Q
interosseous membrane
A
- fibrous connective tissue
- stabilized the tibia and fibula along their vertical axis
- separating the anterior and posterior compartments of the leg
4
Q
bones of foot
A
- tarsals
- metatarsals
- phalanges
5
Q
what are the 7 tarsals
A
- calcaneus
- talus
- navicular
- cuboid
- cuneiforms (Medial, intermediate, lateral)
6
Q
phalanges
A
distal
middle
proximal
7

A
distal and proximal
8
Q
what are the extra bones in the foot called and what do they do
A
sesamoid bone
- encased in the tendon of flexor hallicus brevis
9
Q
dorsiflexion
A
toes to the sky
10
Q
plantarflexion
A
toe pointing down
11
Q
what are the joints in the ankle
A
- talocrural joint
- subtalar joint
12
Q
talocrural joint
A
- synovial hinge joint
- formed by the articulation of the tibia, fibula, and talus
Action: plantarflexion/dorsiflexion - hinge joint
13
Q
subtalar joint
A
- synovial plane joint
- formed by the articulation of the talus and the calcaneus
Action: inversion/eversion
14
Q
what are the action of the anterior and posterior compartemnt of the leg
A
anterior= extension
posterior= flexion
15
Q
anterior compartment (leg) + action
A
- tibialis anterior
- extensor hallicus longus
- extensor digitorum longus
- peroneus tertius
dorsiflexion
