Q

The talocrural joint is responsible for what movements

A
  • Main ankle joint

- Dorsiflexion/plantarflexion

22
Q

The subtalar joint is responsible for what movement? And what bones make it up

A
  • Inversion/Eversion

- The talus and the calcaneous

23
Q

What 2 joints make up the transverse tarsal joint?

A
  • Talonavicular

- Calcaneocuboid

24
Q

What movement does the transverse tarsal joint do

A

Pronation/Supination

25
Q

What type of joint is the proximotibiofibular joint

A

Synovial planar joint

-superior and inferior gliding

26
Q

What ligaments support the proximal tibiofibular joint

A
  • Anterior and posterior ligaments of the fibular head

- Interosseous membrane

27
Q

What type of joint is the distal tibiofibular joint

A

Syndesmoses

28
Q

When does gliding at the proximal tibiofibular joint occue

A

Dorsiflexion of the taocrural joint

-the trochlea of the talus wedges between the malleoli

29
Q

The crural tibiofibular interosseous ligament is continuous with the…

A

More superior interosseous membrane

30
Q

What ligaments support the distal tibiofibular joint

A
  • Crural tibiofibular interosseous ligament
  • Anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligament
  • Interosseous membrane
31
Q

What type of joint is the tolocrural joint? Where does the axis lie?

A

Synovial hinge joint

-Axis runs transversely through the malleoli

32
Q

What are the lateral walls of the talocrural joint and what fits into the center

A
  • Lateral walls=malleoli

- In=trochlea of the talus

33
Q

What part of the fibula is in this joint

A

-Medial surface of the lateral malleolus

with the lateral surface of the malleolus

34
Q

What are the 2 places that the tibia articulates with the trochlea

A
  • Inferior surface of the tibia with the superior surface of the trochlea
  • Medial malleolus with the medial surface of the trochlea
35
Q

RECAP- What are the movements of the talocrural joint

A

Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion

36
Q

Describe dorsiflexion and the talocrural joint

A
  • Dorsiflexion is STABLE
  • Trochlea is wedged tightly into the mortise in this position
  • Bc trochlea is widest ANTERIORLY
37
Q

Describe plantarflexion

A
  • Plantarflexion is unstable
  • More narrow part of the trochlea is loosely in the mortise
  • Allows ab/ad inv/ever to occur
38
Q

Is the trochlea of the talus wider anteriorly or posteriorly

A

Anteriorly

39
Q

The inferior and medial articulations at the mortise are between the…

A

Tibia and the talus

40
Q

The lateral articulation is between the…

A

Fibula and the talus

41
Q

What is the ligament that reinforces the joint capsule on the medial side

A

-Medial ligament of the ankle (Deltoid Ligament)

42
Q

What are the components of the deltoid ligament

A
  • Anterior tibiotalar
  • Posterior tibiotalor
  • Tibionavicular
  • Tibiocalcaneal
43
Q

Where does the Medial ligament of the ankle (Deltoid Ligament) span from

A
  • Medial malleolus
  • Talus
  • Calcaneus
  • Navicular bone
44
Q

What does the Medial ligament of the ankle (Deltoid Ligament) prevent

A

Eversion of the foot

45
Q

What composes the lateral ligament of the ankle

A
  • 3 SEPERATE STRUCTURE
  • Anterior talofibular
  • Posterior talofibular
  • Calcaneofibular
46
Q

This is a weak band that extends from the lateral malleolus to the neck of the talus

A

Anterior talofibular ligament

47
Q

This is a thick and fairly strong band that runs horizontally and medially from the malleolus to the lateral surface of the talus

A

Posterior talofibular ligament

48
Q

This ligament extends from the tip of the malleolus to the lateral surface of the calcaneus

A

Calcaneofibular ligament

49
Q

What lateral ligament is the strongest?

A

Posterior talofibular

50
Q

When are the lateral ligaments taut?

A

Inversion

-so they resist hyperinversion
