Q

What does the tibialis anterior muslce do? NAme its insertion & what is a pathology associated with it?

A

Tibialis anterior is attached to the medial cuniform _ first metatarsal

Involved in dorsi flexion & inversion

Predominantly acts to decelerate the foot

Pathology: Reptitive use or constant stepping on hard surfaces causes microtrauma periostitis or shin splints

Q

What does the extensor digitorum longus sit? What is involved

A

Attaches to the distal most pahalanx of later 4 digits. It is involed in dorsiflexion.

17
Q

Fibularis tertius what is it?

A

it is a vestigial muscle attaching to the base of the 5th metatarsal

18
Q

Organisation of the anterior compartment of the leg from medial to lateral?

A

Tim Has a very nasty dirty toe
Tibialia Anterior , EHL, Artery, NErve, Vein, Extensor Digitorum longus, Fibularis tertius

The muscles of the anteiror and posterior leg are protected by sunovial sheats as they pass their way aroudn the malleolus and through the retinaculum

19
Q

What is compartment syndrome? What can cause compartment syndrome? What is the effect of compartment syndrome in the anterior leg? What is the clinical signs associated with this?

A

The deep fascia compartmentalises the muscles and prevents them from expanding. Pressure build up due to problems can thus cause compartment syndrome. Foe example muscular bleeds can cause this. THis can compress neurovascular structures causing pathology

Anterior Compartment

  • Common fibilar nerve- innervating the compartment may be damaged
  • Tibilais anterior cannot contract to cause dorsiflexion, this causes a foot drop.
20
Q

What are two muscles of the lateral compartment and what are their insertions? What nerve are they supplied by?

A

Both are supplied by the superficial fibular nerve (L4,5)
Fibularis longus
-Fibularis Brexis
- Inserts into the dorsum of 5th metatarsal at the fibularis peroneal tubercle

  • In severe sprains - there is avulsion of this site of insertion

These muscles have a signficant propriceptive role

21
Q

The superficial posterior comparment of the leg? What nerve is it supplied by? Which muscles form the the posteriore compartment? What are their roles?

A

Supplied by the tibial nerve S1,2

Their role is to resist force of gravity, line of gravity goes in front of the joint.. Also involved in venous returnn

22
Q

Name thre three muscles of teh posteror compartment? What are their attachments? What are their fucntions?

A

Gastrocnemius

  • HAs two heads, and is two joint muscle, inserts into the calcaenues via tendons fusing to form achilles tendon ( susceptible to strain)
  • Powerful muscle used in running and locomotion
  • Problems can arise such as calcaneal tedinopahty

Soleus:
Also inserts into the calcaneus, achillesl tendon, lying deep to gastrogenemus

  • Mainly a postural muscle, high concentratoin of slow twich muscle fibres, prevents body from falling forward
  • ALso acts as a muscle pump

Plantaris
- arising from lateral conyle of femur and inserts into the achillies, ther eis no role

23
Q

What are the pathologies associated with posterior compartment

A

Achilles tendon:
• Gastrocnemius together with soleus form ACHILLES TENDON = prone to strain in dynamic plantar flexion (running)
• Strains = muscle tear, musculo-tendinous junction tear, tendon tear + AVULSION FRACTURE (especially children where this site is weak)
• Muscles that are coming from anterior & posterior aspect of leg = protected from synovial sheaths
• ACHILLES TENDON = does not have a synovial sheath  has a PARATENDON instead
• Both paratendon + Bursa that protect the Achilles tendon are prone to inflammation from excessive running ( bursitis) ( repetitive use)
• Tendinopathy  at calcaneal tendon

24
Q

Deep Posterior Muscles

Clinical Signficance

A

FDL

  • Origin: Posterior TIbia
    Insertion
  • Plantar surface; base of the distal phalanges of the four lesser toe
  • Hence it starts medial - travels to insert laterally to supply the 4 digits

FHL

  • Origin: Posteior Fibula ( lateral)
    Insertion: PLantar surface –> base of distal pahalnx of hallux
  • Location: Deep to FDL

Clinical Signficance: Shin Splints - Microtrauma of the periosteuum occurs

Tibialis Posterior

  • Origin:
  • Insertion: INserts into teh navicular & medial cuneiform

Popliteus

  • Origin: Posteior TIbia
  • Insertion: Lateral Femoral condyle
    ACts to laterally rotate the femur and unlock the knee

Tarsal Tunnel = Beneath flexor retinaculum –> Organisaton from medial to lateral

TP, FDL, Posterior Tibial Artery, posterior tibial vein, tibihal nerve, FHL

Tom Dick and very naughty harry

Clinical Signficance

These muscles, especially TB, can be inovled in shin splints.

Tarsal Tunner syndrome

Tendonitis - Tendons exapnd –> compress neurovascular structures –>

25
Q

Name intrinsic Foot muscles in The Dorsum?

A

Superficial Fibular NErve ( L4,5)

Extensor Hallicus Brevis
- Dorsiflexion of toes

Extensor Digitorum Brevis
- Dorsiflexion of toes

Action = Relatively weak dorsiflexion

26
Q

Sole of Foot:

A

Layer 1: Stabilise the foot in locomotion

  • Abductor hallucis
  • Flexor Digitorum Brevis
  • Abductor Digiti Minimi

Layer 2 :

  • With FDL & FHL tendons
  • Lumbricals (4)
  • There is no extensor expansion in the foot associated with the lumbricals
  • Flexor acessories (quadrantus plantae)
  • Its role is to straighten the pulll of FDL, that is acting on the four digits
27
Q

Layer 3

A

Flexor hallicus Brevis
Adductor Hallucus
Flexor Digiti Minimi
Sesamoid bone = creates tunnels fo rnerves & vessels to pass

28
Q

Layer 4

A

Interossei = 4 dorsal & 3 plantal
Line of rotation = 2nd metatarsal
PAD = Plantar adductor
DAB = dorsal abductor
