Q

What are the attachments and function of the Plantar calcaneonavicular (aka “spring lig.”)?

A

ATTACHMENTS- from the anterior margin of the sustentaculum tali to the plantar surface of the navicular

FUNCTION- supports the medial longitudinal arch of the foot

22
Q

What is the nerve supply to the foot?

A

Sciatic
Tibial: medial plantar, lateral plantar (superficial b and deep b)
common plantar
proper plantar

23
Q

What is the arterial supply to the foot?

A

popliteal

post tib: medial plantar, lat plantar (deep plantar arch)

24
Q

What is a common location to take pulse at the foot?

A

Dorsalis pedis
identify hallucis longus tendon and go lateral
tibialis anterior tendon

25
Q

What are the movements of the foot at the ankle joint?

A

plantar flexion
dorsi flexion
inversion
eversion

26
Q

What are the movements of the toes?

A

flexion
extension
abduction
adduction

27
Q

Where would you take the posterior tibial pulse?

A

Posterior to the medial malleolus
calcaneal tendon
posterior tibial artery

28
Q

Explain the Talus

A

The talus is a weight bearing structure

-mdifoot translates all forces through subtalar joint and talonavicular joint into crural joint

29
Q

Explain the fibrous joint capsule of the ankle

A

Talocrural fibrous capsule

anterior talofibular ligament- thickening of the fibrous joint capsule that is easily injured

30
Q

What is the function of the Anterior talofibular ligament?

A

resists anterior translation and inversion of talus when plantar flexed

31
Q

What is the function fo the calcaneofibular ligament?

A

resists inversion of calcaneous

32
Q

What is the function of the posterior talofibular ligament?

A

resists inversion of talus

33
Q

What is the most common ankle injury?

A

Inversion (lateral) sprain
ATF usually injured first
the ankle is plantar flexed and inverted which puts ATF on the most stress
-many athletes do not have ATF in tact but experience no issues and mainly focus on balance and proprioception
-surgery not recommended bc ankle can still function

34
Q

what does the medial longitudinal arch connect?

A

calcaneous and 1st MTP joint

35
Q

what are the supporting structures in the medial longitudinal arch?

A

-spring ligament/plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

if you tear this ligament, entire arch will collapse

36
Q

Describe metatarsophalengeal joints

A
  • synovial condyloid
  • head of metatarsal; base of prox phalanges
  • collateral ligament and plantar ligament
37
Q

Describe interphalangeal joints

A
  • hinge joint
  • flexion and extension
  • head of one phalanx to base of distal one
38
Q

What is the order of structures on the medial malleolus?

A
Tom- tibialis posterior
Dick- Flexor digitorum longus
And- posterior tibial artery
Very- Posterior Tibial Vein
Nervous- Tibial Nerve
Harry- Flexor Hallucis Longus
39
Q

A

lateral plantar n

47
Q

48
Q

What are the general actions of the first layer of the foot?

A

Flex and Abduct the toes

49
Q

Describe the branching of the medial plantar nerve

A

Medial plantar nerve gives rise to the common plantar digital nerves that innervate digits 1-3, and those give rise to the proper plantar digital nerves.

50
Q

Describe the branching of the lateral plantar nerve.

A

Lateral plantar nerve gives rise to a superficial branch that innervates the 4th and 5th digit. The superficial branch gives rise to a common plantar digital nerve.

Lateral plantar nerve also gives rise to a deep branch that goes to the deeper layers of foot.
