Foot Flashcards
bones of foot
- tarsals
- metatarsals (1/digit)
- phalanges (proximal/middle/distal)
tarsal bones
- calcaneus (heel)
- talus
- cuneiform (lateral + intermediate + medial)
- cuboid
- navicular
my insanely large cucumber never touches carrots
sesamoids
@sole/plantar foot, MT1
2 of them-forms within tendons of flexor hallucis brevis muscle
foot divisions
- forefoot (phalanges + MTs)
- midfoot (cuneiforms + cuboid + navicular)
- hindfoot = calcaneus + talus
- tarsus = all tarsals (midfoot + hindfoot)
joints
tarsometatarsal/lisfranc = div fore/mid foot
trasverse tarsal/midtarsal = div mid/hintfoot
talus structure
head
neck
trochlea “pulley”
calcaneus bony features
calacneal tuberosity = achilles tendon insert, most weight bearing
articular surfaces= for cuboid bone and talas (@post, middle, anterior)
-sustentaculum tali/talar shelf: support head of talus and has groove for flexor hallucis longus tendon
superficial fascia + skin
thin + loose CT fascia
dorsum = not much fat, thin skin, fewer lymph vessels
sole = fat lobules in compartments separated by dense CT,
dorsum is more susceptible to edema than sole near lat malleolus
deep fascia
aka dorsalis fascia
cont w/ crural and plantar fascia
very thin except where extensor retinacula
tendons/arteries/nerves from ant leg run deep to dorsalis fascia
compartments
- dorsal
- interosseous
- medial (sole)
- central (sole)
- lateral (sole)
interosseous compartment
boundaries: surrounded by dorsal + plantar interosseous fascia
has MT bones + dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles + deep plantar and deep MT vessels
dorsal compartment
boundaries: dorsal fascia + tarsal bones + dorsal interosseous fascia of mid/forefoot
contents: muscles + neurovasculature
foot muscles
intrinsic
20 intrinsic (og on foot > in distally on foot)
- 2 dorsal
- 4 intermediate
- 14 plantar/sole
extrinsic muscles
- extensor hallucis longus (will split 3 ways)
- extensor digitorum longus
extend toes + assist dorsiflexion
og @ant leg > cross ankle > insert on foot so only tendons in dorsum/sole
both og in anterior compartment
intrinsic dorsum muscles
- extensor hallucis brevis (distally)
- extensor digitorum brevis (II-IV proximally)
both og @ superolateral surface of calcaneus > EDB will insert on EDL
inn by deep fibular N
blood by dorsalis pedis A (+branches= arcuate, lateral tarsal, fibular A)
