FAnkle Flashcards
bunnionette types
1 - lateral prominence ; 2 - bowed with normal IMA (distal chevron); 3 - wide IMA (most common)
normal 4-5th IMA
6-8 deg; also 5th MT head should be less than 13mm
sx of baxter’s nerve
9-12 months heelpain; unrelated to WB, similar to plantar fascitis
position for ankle fusion
0 DF, 0-5 valgus, 0 ER
floating toe seen with
seen with Weil osteotomy - up to 36%; more common when performed with PIP arthrodesis
Distal MT osteotomy parameters
HVA < 25 and IM < 13
FDL and FHL in plantar mid foot
FHL is DEEP (dorsal) to FDL
what position is hind foot for toe off
inversion, locked for toe off
traits of rigid hammertoe
neutral to slight extension of MTP; fixed PIP, variable DIP - key is that PIP does not correct with foot plantarflexion
criteria for DM ulcer
ABI < 0.45; TcO2 < 30; albumin < 3
which part of plantar fascia to release in PF
medial third ONLY - otherwise you will destabilize the arch
tx of chronic achilles tendinopathy
debridement, exostectomy of calc, and FHL transfer
risk factors for subtalar fusion non-union
smoking, failure of previous union or tibiotalar union, > 2mm of AVN at fusion site
baxter’s nerve innervates
abductor digit quinti, FDB, and quadratus plantae
bracnhes of tibial nerve at medial ankle
Medial Calc nerve; lateral plantar (with baxters) and medial plantar ; medial plantar is more anterior
tx of metatarsal stress fracture
walking boot x 6 weeks;
what position causes peroneal tendon subluxation
resisted dorsiflexion and eversion - due to disrupted SUPERIOR peroneal retinaculum
Peroneus longus injuries a/w
RhA, Varus foot, and large peroneal tubercle - tx is debride and attach to the brevis when chronic
chronic achilles rupture tx
if < 3months old and < 3cm , try for primary repair; if > 3cm gap use FHL transfer
Silfverskiold test
dorsiflexion improves with knee flexion - if DF improves then ONLY Gastroc was involved in contracture
the ONLY oral abx with pseudomonas coverage
fluoroquinolones
% reduction in recurrent sprains after proprioception PT
35% less
