Q

what are the bones of the foot

A

tarsal bones = 7 irregualr shaped bones proximal aspect of the foot

meta tarsals = 5 metatarsals one for each toe connect the phalanges to the tarsal bones

phalanges

Q

describe the talus

A
  • the most superior bone of the foot and has 3 articualtions
  • superiorly = ankle jonint between teh alus tbia and fibula
  • inferiorly subtalar joint bw it and the calcaneus
  • anteriorly talonavicular joint bw it nd the navlaular
  • F = transmit forces rfi the tibia to the calcanoeus (eheel bone)
  • the trochlear portion of the talus is the region wc articualtes with the tibia and fibula
    • wider anteriorly compared with posterioly and this shape provides addition stability to the dorsiflexed ankle

Q

what is attathced to the talus?

A

no muscles just ligaments

this ameans that theres a hgih chage of avascualr necrosis that can occur if taus is fracturesd sicne the b. suply is aslo retrograde just like the scaphoid boen fo the hand

Q

describe the calcaneus

A

infeior to the talus and is part of the subtlr join

aka heel bone

anteriorly articulaiton = calcaneocuboid joint bt it and cuboid

funtion is take the full weightof the body and thats why is protrudes posteriorly whe the heel touches the ground . this is the calcaneus tuberosity and is whete the Achillies tendon attaches

navicular bone

A

wc artiualtes with the with talus bine in the talonavilaur joint but it also articualte with the cuneiform bones anterirly wc then articualte with the metaatarsal there are

it also articualtes wit the cunodial bone laterlly

Q

describe the ankle joint

A

hungje joint allowing for dorsiflexion and plantar felxion

tibular and fibular held ogether bu the tijiofibuilar ligaments at distal tiiofiilar joint , together they form a mortise, a breacket sahped socket wehre the trochlea of the talus fits into

Q

what movements are permitted bu the ankklejoint and what movements are strogner and why

A

dosriflexion andplantarfelxion

the anterior trochlaerof the tlaus is broader than the posterior

so disoriflexion the antior aspect is held well in teh mortise and so more stable but opppste in teh plantflexion becaue tht eposteior trahoclar is more narrow =less tbale

20
Q

what muscles contribute to dorsiflexion

A

anterior compartment of the leg

tibilais anteirr, extensor halluics longus, extensor digitorium lingus and pectoneus tertius

21
Q

what limitesdisriflexion

A

the mucles fo the posterior compartment

22
Q

describe the anterior compartemen of the leg

A

tiilais anterior, extensor digitorium lognus , extensor hallucis lgus , peroneus tertius

f = dorsiflexionand invert the footat ankle joint

but the extensors an also extend the toes

IN = deep peroneal nerve

B = anterior tiial artery

23
Q

tibilalis anterior

A

strongest in dorsiflexion adn to test ask patiet to stand on their heels with the forefoot raised offthe ground

O= lateral surface of the tibia

I= medial cuneiform ad base of 1st meta

F = dorsiflexion and inversion of foot

IN = deep peroneal nerve

B = anteiror tibial artery

24
Q

extensor digitorium longus

A

lateral to adn deep to the tibilais anteriorm but you can palpate the tendon on the dorsum of the foot

O = lateral condyle of the tibia and medial surface of the fibuka,the fibres then converge into 1 tendon wc passes deeo to the extensor retinacula of the ankle, wc splits into tendons on dorsum of the foot

I = middle and distal phalanges of the 2-5th toe

F = dorsiflexion adnd extension of the toes

IN =deep fibular nerve

b+ anteiror tibial artery

25
extesnor hallucis longus
deep to both edl and ta O = medial surface of the fibular shaft , tendon crossesanteior to anjle joint belwo te extnsor reticaculum and I=to base of distal phaland of gret big toe f = dors. and extnsion of the toe IN = deep fibular nerve B = anterior fiular artery
26
peroneus tertius
not present in all individuals O =medial surface f the fibual incferior tho to the origiom of the EDL , tedon gos beneath the extesnor retinaulcu I = base of the5th metatarsal f= eversion and assists in dorsiflexion of the foot IN =deep peroneal nerve b = ant. tib. artery
27
what contributes to plantarflexion
posterior compartment of the leg
28
posteiror compartement of the leg
superficial and deep f = plantarfelxion an dinversion IN = tibial nerve
29
superficial psterior compa
calf shape mjsucles all insert inot calcaneal tendon - achilles tendon but to minimise the fricition they hae 2 burse associated wuth the calcaneal tendon
30
bursae of the calceanal tendon
subcutaenous calcanela skin and cal tend deep calcaneal - tendon adn cal
31
gastrocnemius
most supefical posteriorleg muscle O= lateral of gastocnemius orginates from the lateral femoral conydle and medial head frmedia condyle, two heads converge together and combine tendon with soleus and planataris I= calcaenal tendon f = invesionad planta also assistts knee flexion iN- tibial
32
plantaris
small. muscle absenct in 10% of people O = lateral supracondyle line I= runs between gastroneumis nd soleus inserts into ctedno F =platna andinversio but lso weak knee flxor IN= tibial nerve used in graft surgery
33
soleus
O= soleal line I= cal tendon F = plantar In= tibial nerve
34
whats te deep posterior leg compartment
4 mslce ; popliteus acts on knee joint only, tibialis posteroir, flexor hallcuis longus,flexor digitorium ligus
35
popliteus
superiorly and posteriorly ;lies posterior to knee joint O = tibial prxomail to soleal line I = passes supralaterally and insrts into the lateral consule of femr and posterior horn of lateral neiscus F lateral rotating of femus , unloing knee joint so fexion can occur IN= tibial nerve
36
tibialis posterior
deepest O = intesooseus membrane I= tend wc enters sole of fot by passing posterior to the malleoulus and insets on the navicualr nnd medial cuniform F = inversio and planta and maintains the medial arch of foot IN= tibial
37
flexor digitorium longus
medially. located in deep psoteior leg O= medial surface of tibia and enters sole of foot psoterior to medial malloeus I= corsses superfila to fhl and divides ito 4 and iserts onto base f the distal phalanx of each of teh four digits F = flexes the lateral four toes and assists with plantar flexion of ankle and inversionof the midfoot In= tibial
38
Fhallucis longus
lateral side of posteiror (medial FDL) O= posterior surface of fibula paases psoterios to meda malleous and I = base of the distal phalanx of gret toe IN- tibial f= flex toe and plantarand inversion
39
what are the ligament sof the ffoot
anterior talofibular bteween lateral mellous ad neck of femur (most common to get ripped) postieror talofibular ligament bw malloea fossa and lateral tubercule of the talus calcaneofibular ligaemnt bw tip of lateral malleolus and lateral surface of the calcaneus f = assist inversion
40
what ligaemnts involve in everesion
deltoid (medial) and its fibures attatch to the talus calcanoues and naviucular
41
inversion ligaments
anterior and osteiro talofibular calcaenofibular
42
43
what are the arches if the foot
medial longitudinal arch = most clincial significant , forme by nvicular, talus, calc, three cuneiforms and medial 3 meta plantar aponeurosis and spring ligament , tibialia anterir andpeoneu s longus tendons play a roe i maintaing shape of arch lateral longituidianl arch = d calcaneus cuboiud and latera 2,contation of the pernous brevis uscle help support this lateral longit ach
44
compartment syndrome whats the long and short term cnsequences
short - idue to increased pressure = v perfusion of muscle, ischaemia resleases mediatoes wc icrease capillary permeability ad exacerbate the risj in presure if untreaed you get rhabdomyolysis (musel necrosis) ad acute kideney ijry. neurovasucalr signs ae late to develp if intracompaortmetn roesrue excees arterial pressre thers a loos of peripheral pulse increased capillary refill time, nerve fires are suspceitp to ischemia -\> think nerers do get distal paraesthiesa precedesmusce loss long= rhabdomyolyis and kidney injury volkmann's ischamic contracture =permanent painful and siablig contracture of the affected musce group
45
ankle fracture
* **fracture disoalctions** common usally inversio /everesion accident + conside co-morbitiy, * if **blister fracture** then surgey need tobe dealyed untl bisters heal , but seomtiems the skill is necrotic and so healing take time * **open fracture** when skin breged reuqires sutgery and debridgment to reduce riskof osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) * with ankle frcature usually a lgimtn is teared or sometimes all, all you ned to knoe is 1 = stable, 2 -=unstable 3 = unstbaleand dislacted, 1 is treated with aircast boot or friboblast cast * talus shift is hwn the syndesmois meial or lateral ligaments are ripped anjel mortise becomes unstbale an shifts *
