Q

What is the difference between a mortise and an oblique ankle?

A

Mortise is 15 to 20° medial rotation until intermalleolar line is parallel to IR.

Oblique is 45° medial rotation and distal, tibiofibular joint open with no or only minimal overlap.

Q

What do the basis of the metatarsal articulate with?

A

17
Q

Where are the sesamoid bones located?

A

Plantar surface at the head of the first metatarsal

18
Q

Which of the following is not true in looking at a lateral foot?

A. Include at least one inch of distal tib fib.
B. Superimposition of heads of metatarsals.
C. Cuboid free of super imposition.
D. Visualize entire foot from digits to calcaneus.

A

B. Superimposition of heads of metatarsals.

19
Q

If looking for foreign body, do we angle the CR?

A

No. We want to take it as is because an angle made distort the length of the object.

20
Q

What does Pes Planis mean?

A

Flat foot. No arch.

21
Q

True or false: image critique for oblique foot with lateral rotation, we want to see the sinus Tarsi free of super imposition

A

False. You would see base of the first metatarsal.

22
Q

View of the foot would you see the sinus Tarsi?

A

Oblique foot with medial rotation

23
Q

How many tarsal bones are in one single foot? Name them.

A
  1. Calcaneus, talus, navicular, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, and cuboid
24
Q

If patient’s foot cannot be flat in a lateral projection, can we use a wedge? What is the angle?

A

Yes, a wedge can be used. There would be no angle.

25
Q

In an AP projection of the ankle, which of the following is true? There can be more than one.

A. Plantar surface is perpendicular to the IR.
B. Fibula projects, more distally than the tibia.
C. Calcaneus is well visualized.

A

A. Plantar surface is perpendicular to the IR.
B. Fibula projects, more distally than the tibia.

26
Q

In a lateral projection of the foot, which of the following is true? There can be more than one.

A. Plantar surface should be perpendicular to IR.
B. Metatarsals are super imposed.
C. Talofibular joint should be visualized.

A

A. Plantar surface should be perpendicular to IR.
B. Metatarsals are super imposed.

27
Q

The second metatarsophalangeal joint is what type of joint?

A

Synovial joint, diarthrodial. Movement type: modified ellipsoidal (condyloid)

28
Q

How much foot rotation for a mortise ankle?

A

15 to 20° medial

29
Q

How much foot rotation for an oblique ankle?

A

45° medial

30
Q

Which of the following joints is a fibrous amphiathroadial joint?

A. Proximal phalange
B. Talar navicular
C. Distal Tibial fibular joint
D. Proximal tibial fibular

A

C. Distal Tibialfibular joint

31
Q

When to best see a medial displacement Fx?

A

AP

32
Q

When to best see a posterior displacement?

A

Lateral

33
Q

Name of Fx for base of the fifth metatarsal

A

Nightstand Fx aka Jones Fx

34
Q

What joint is most affected by gout?

A

First MTP joint of the foot

35
Q

What is gout?

A

A form of arthritis that may be hereditary. Uric acid appears in excessive quantities in the blood and may be deposited into joints and other tissues.

36
Q

What is the Don Juan Fx (Lover’s Fx)

A

Fracture of the calcaneus

37
Q

What is Osgood-Schlatter Disease

A

Partial separation of the tibial tuberosity caused by overuse of quadriceps muscles. Most common in boys ages 10 through 15 years old.

38
Q

During most long bone exams, the part being radiographed should be _____ to IR and ____ to CR

A

Parallel to IR and perpendicular to CR

39
Q

What do we call the superior surface of the foot? Is it the anterior or posterior portion?

A

Dorsum and is anterior
