First ray deformity Flashcards
First ray
First metatarsal and medial cuneiform
First ray articulates with
navicular
2nd cuneiform
2nd metatarsal base
motion of the 1st ray is
Uniaxial
triplanar
Axis is directed ——– to the joints that provide ———– and ————–
opposite
supination and pronation
Axis is deviated ———from sagittal and frontal planes
45º
same degree deviation from sagittal and frontal plane means
equal dorsiflexion/inversion and plantarflexion/eversion
Axis is deviated ———-from the transverse plane
9º
if a deformity is congenital it means
both sides
if a deformity is asymmetric it means
Acquired
A compensated RF varus cause the 1st ray to
dorsiflex
FF supinatus
soft tissue deformity causing the FF to supinate
FF supinatus can also cause
dorsiflexed 1st ray
What type of deformities can cause dorsiflexed 1st ray?
Spasm of TA
Paresis of TP
Compensated RF varus
hallux limitus
hallux is not able to dorsiflex to the appropriate amount of range of motion
uncompensated RF varus causes
Plantarflexed 1st ray
