100
Q

p brevis vs p longus at peroneal tubercle

A

p tubercle is on calc, Brevis is DORSAL

101
Q

tx algorithm for peroneal tendon tears

A

if small tears - debride, repair/tubulerize, if type 2 (one is unsuable and one is good -then tenodesis to each other); if type 3 - both are useless, then allograft transfer if muscle excrusion is present, otherwise FHL transfer

102
Q

FHL transfer to achilles vs debride and repair - whats the diff

A

FHL transfer has increased ankle PF without compromising Hallux PF

103
Q

eval of turf toe requires

A

MRI; stress dorsiflexion view is not usually possible in acute setting

104
Q

high IMA noted by

A

lateral sublux of the sesamoids; needs a proximal osteotomy

105
Q

lateral placement of saw in h valgus correction can lead to

A

hallux varus

106
Q

best approach for TTC fusion

A

lateral; allows acces and prep of TT and Talocalc surfaces

107
Q

first line tx of freibergs

A

metatarsal pads

108
Q

what is first portal in ankle scope and structure at risk

109
Q

where does DPN and dorsalis pedis live

A

b/w TA EHL

110
Q

medial and lateral plantar nerves sit on what layer

A

plantar aspect of layer 2 - QP; lumbricals and FHL, FDL tendons

111
Q

achilles myotendinous junction turns which way at insertion

A

90 deg medial so superficial fibers insert laterally

112
Q

third layer of foot contains

A

Adductor Hallucis (oblique, transverse heads), FHB, FDMB

113
Q

talar body main blood supply

A

retrograde via arter of tarsal canal; more recent studies show blood supply comes from post tib.

114
Q

where are navicular stress fractures

A

dorsal third

115
Q

Deep peroneal innervates

A

Tib Ant, EHL, EDL, and innervates EDB and EHB in foot

116
Q

transverse tarsal joints during heel strike

A

subtalar everts making these joints PARALLEL and UNLOCKED for uneven ground

117
Q

A

PF, inversion, int rot.

118
Q

CFL is under greatest strain when

A

Anterolateral ankle impingment 2 locations

A

seen with lateral ankle instability; m/c location is sup border of ATFL; and then distal aspect of AITFL

145
Q

best way to diagnosie ankle impingement

A

exam - PF and direct pressure; better than MRI

146
Q

what is basset ligament

A

inferior aspect of AITFL invoveld in syndesmotic antero lateral impingment

147
Q

supramalleolar ostoetomy for varus deformity_

A

medial opening wedge; if > 10deg need a fibular osteotomy too

148
Q

supramalleolar ostoetomy for valgus deformity_

A

medial closing wedge with oblique fibular osteotomy for lengthening

149
Q

limitations of scope fusion

A

cant correct deformity

150
Q

what is consequence of fusion in ankle PF

A

knee goes into recurvatum to accommodate

151
Q

main downside of TAA vs fusion

A

MUCH higher revision surgery rate

152
Q

hindfoot OA m/c caused by

A

trauma

153
Q

isolated TN OA caused by

A

inflammatory conditions (RhA)

154
Q

which joint OA limits hindfoot motion most

A

Talonavicular - 90% of motion is limted if TN is fused - therefore if TN is bad - do a triple fusion anyways

155
Q

which joint fails to fuse in Triple fusion

A

Talonavicular

156
Q

pain with extreme PF in hallux rigidus is caused by

A

draping of dorsal capsule and EHL over a osteophyte

157
Q

best fixation for MTP fusion for h rigidus

A

compression screw and plate - goal is 15 deg valgus; and 25 deg DF

158
Q

does achilles invert or evert hindfoot

A

INVERT - even though hindfoot is valgus - achilles inserts on medial aspect of axis of rotation

159
Q

when to add tendon transfer to achilles injury

A

if > 50% is inflammed or older patients > 55 (FHL, FDL or even P brevis)

160
Q

diff in wound size for achilles repair

A

perc and mini open do have lower wound issues but higher sural nerve issues with perc vs regular open

161
Q

inssertions of Post tib

A

anterior limb to navic and first cuneiform; middle limb to 2-3cuneiform, cuboid and 2-5MT: and final limb is to sus.tali

162
Q

post tib during stance phase

A

eccentric contracture to take load off spring ligament

163
Q

main antagonnist of post tib

A

p brevis

164
Q

what is evans osteotomy

A

lateral column opening via ant proces of calc

165
Q

if you need to perform triple fusion but tissue is bad

A

consider medial incision only talonavic and subtalar fusion; CC can be ignored

166
Q

Pb tears vs p longus tears

A

P brevis tears are more common at level of FIBULAR groove

167
Q

tib ant insertion

A

1st cuneiform and medial 1st met base

168
Q

when to repair hallucis flexor laceration

A

if both FHL and FHB are out. Isolated FHL is controversial

169
Q

FHL vs FDL at knot of henry

A

FHL crosses dorsal to FDL

170
Q

posteromedial ankle pain with toe motion

A

consider FHL pathology - tenosynovitis

171
Q

how to acute P brevis/longus tears occur

A

acute inversion to a dorsiflexed ankle

172
Q

tx of calc stress frx

A

do not need NWB - but walking cast or boot 4-6 weeks is enough

173
Q

common deformity in lesser toes with CMT

A

claw toe - due to strong intrinsics

174
Q

order of muscle involvement in CMT

A

intrinsics; P brevis then tib ant

175
Q

TAR vs fusion in adjacent OA

A

TAR has less progression of degen on XR

176
Q

pain that dreases with traction across toe and motion

A

phys exam test for synovitis

177
Q

what does RhA do to lesser MTP joints

A

valgus deviation and clawing

178
Q

how does mortons extension work

A

limits MTP dorsiflexion to minimize pain

179
Q

if both peroneals are damaged and no excursion

A

FHL transfer

180
Q

if recalcitrant plantar fascitis and sx of nerve sx what is surgery

A

distal tarsal tunnel release AND partal PF release

181
Q

what is best stretching protocol for plantar fascitis

A

NWB Achilles stretches is better than WB stretches

182
Q

what does baxters nn innervates

A

sensation and motor to FDB and abductor quinti minimi - often compressed with people who spend time on toes (ballet, sprinters)

183
Q

how long should non -op for baxters last

A

at least 6 months

184
Q

pain with fat pat atrophy of heel vs PF pain

A

Fad pat atrophy pain is more proximal and more lateral

185
Q

patho of neuroma

A

not a true neuroma - has perineural fibrosis and endoneural thickening

186
Q

local analgesic vs steroid for neuroma

A

equal effectiveness at 3 and 6 months

187
Q

what position worsesns tarsal tunnel

A

DF and eversion

188
Q

pathoanatomy of CMT foot

A

first week intrinsics lead to high arch and clawing; then weak tib ant gets over powered by P longus in 1st ray; then p brevisis weak and overpowered by PT

189
Q

what soft tissue procedures for CMT

A

transfer p longus to brevis; release TN joint and medial tissue and post tib lengthening to counter the varus forces; can also transfer Post tib to front

190
Q

what is ABI cutoff for POOR healing in feet

A

if ABI <0.45 poor wound healing
