Insertion: Medial Aspect of expansion over lateral four digits

Medial One: Medial Plantar Nerve
3 Lateral ones: Lateral Plantar Nerve

A

Orgin: Plantar surfaces of cuboid and lateral cuneiforms
Insertion: both sides of base of proximal phalanx of 1st digit

Medial Plantar Nerve (S2-S3)

Flexes proximal Phalanx of 1st digit

26
Q

Adductor Hallucis

A

Oblique head: Bases of metatarsals 2-4
Transverse head: Plantar ligaments of metatarsophalangeal joints

Insertion: Tendons of both heads attach to the lateral side of base of 1st proximal phalanx of 1st digit

Deep branch of the Lataral Plantar Nerve

Flexes proximal phalanx of 1st digit

Helps keep toes together to help push off when stepping

27
Q

Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis

A

orgin: Base of the 5th Metatarsa
insertion: Base of proximal phalanx of 5th digit

superficial branch of lateral plantar nerve

Flexes proximal phalanx of 5th digit, thereby assisting with its flexion

28
Q

Plantar Interosei

A

orgin: Plantar aspect of the medial sides of shafts of metatarsals 3-5
Insertion: medial sides of bases of phalanges of 3rd-5th digits

Lateral Plantar nerve

ADDuct digits 3-5

PAD

29
Q

Dorsal Interossei

A

orgin: adjacent sides of shafts of metatarsals 1-5
insertion: medial side of digit 2
and lateral sides of digits 2-4

lateral plantar Nerve

ABduct the digiits 2-4

DAB

30
Q

Hallux Valgus

A

lateral deviation of the great toe

tissue surrounding the deviated area swells leading to friction causing a bursa to form

that bursa is a bunion

31
Q

Corns

A

Inflamed area with thickened skin over proximal interphalangeal joints

32
Q

Mallet Toe

A

Flexion in Distal Interphalangeal joint

referring to lateral toes

33
Q

Q

Blood Supply to the Dorsal Foot

A

Anterior Tibial Artery turns into the Dorsalis Pedis Artery

which then gives rise to the Anterior Lateral Malleolar Artery and as well as the Lateral Tarsal Artery

The dorsal pedis Artery will meet up with the Lateral Tarsal Artery making the Arcuate Artery

The Dorsal Pedis Artery will also give rise to the deep plantar Artery

The Arcuate Artery will give rise the dorsal Metatarsal Arteries and continue on to the Dorsal digital Arteries

43
Q

Blood Supply Plantar of the foot

A

From the posterior Tibial Artery it branches into the medial and Lateral Plantar Arteries

THe Lateral Plantar Artery will make up the majority of the Deep Plantar Arch

the Plantar Arch will give rise to the 3-6th plantar metatarsal and plantar digital Arteries

The medial Plantar A will run with the Medial Plantar N and give rise to the 1-2nd Plantar Metatarsal and Plantar Digital Arteries
