Chapter 4: The Foot Flashcards
The bones of the foot are comprised of the Tarsal bones, the Metatarsals and the Phalanges. There are ______ , 5 Metatarsals and ________ .
7 Tarsals
14 Phalanges
There are two rows of tarsal bones. One is the the proximal bones contain the _____ and the ________ .
Talus
Calcaneous
The distal row of tarsal bones contains the _______ , ________ and the ________ .
Navicular
Cuneiforms
cuboid bone
_________ - This is the only tarsal bone that articulates with the leg. The superior surface bears the weight of the body that is transmitted by the tibia. Articulates with the fibula, the calcaneous and the navicular bones. It is the only foot bone that has no muscle or tendon attachments.
Talus bone
What are the parts of Talus?
The talus has a body, neck and head
The superior surface of the talus is called:
trochlea or dome
The body of the talus contains a _______ posteriorly. This groove is for the passage of the tendon of flexor hallucis longus muscle. The groove contains _______ and _______ tubercles.
groove
lateral
medial
__________ - It is the largest and strongest bone in the foot. Transmits most of the body weight from the talus to the ground. It articulates with the talus superiorly and the navicular and cuboid bones anteriorly.
Calcaneus bone
What are the parts of Calcaneus Bone?
- Sustentaculum tali
- Fibular tubercleof the calcaneus
- Calcaneus tuberosity
__________ - Oblique ridge on the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
Fibular tubercle
___________ - It is a shelf-like landmark on the superior border of the medial surface of the calcaneus and supports the talar head.
Sustentaculum tali
____________ - Prominence on the posterior part of the calcaneus which contains medial, lateral and anterior tubercles.
Calcaneus tuberosity
__________ - formed by calcaneous and talus on the lateral aspect of foot. The anterior talofibular ligament lies here and it is usually sprained during an ankle inversion injury.
Sinus Tarsi
___________ - This is a boat-shaped bone that lies between the talar head and the three cuneiforms.
Navicular bone
_____________ - Located on the superior, medial surface of the navicular bone that projects inferiorly.
Navicular tuberosity
