Foot and Ankle Flashcards
The spring ligament origin and insertion?
Medial aspect of the foot originating from the sustentaculum tail and inserts on the navicular
Is the plantar or dorsal lisfranc ligament the primary stabilizer?
Plantar
Blood supply to the talus?
Artery of tarsal canal
Pathophysiology of acquired hallux valgus
-Proximal phalanx drifts lateral
-medial MTP joint capsule attenuates
-abductor hallucis migrates plantar to metatarsal head which acted as medial restraint
-EHL migrates laterally and acts as deforming force
-hallux pronates
- Sesamoids migrate laterally and erode crusts to allow further progression
Normal hallux valgus angle
<15 deg
Normal intermetatarsal angle
<9 deg
Normal Hallux valgus inter phalange is angle
<10 deg
Normal distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA)?
<10 deg
Measures joint congruency
Bunion correction for low IMA and HVA? Joint is incongruent
Distal metatarsal osteotomy
(Can make osteotomy biplanar to correct incongruity)
Bunion correction for high IMA and high HVA? Joint is incongruent
Proximal (more powerful) metatarsal osteotomy to correct IMA and HVA
Distal metatarsal osteotomy to correct joint incongruity
Indications for lapidus (1st metatarsal cuneiform arthrodesis)?
Generalizes ligamentous laxity
Degenerative 1st metatarsal cuneiform arthritis
Treatment of arthritic 1st MTP Bunnion?
MTP fusion
Footwear insert for hallux rigidis
Carbon fiber foot plate with Morton’s extension to eliminate 1St MTP motion
Sideline criteria for return to play for turf toe?
Can return to play if can dorsi flex toe 60 deg without pain.
Use stiff insole to help with sx
Indications for turf toe surgery?
Complete tear of hallux MTP plantar plate with >3 mm proximal retraction of sesamoids
On imaging the sesamoids contract and do not dynamically move with the FHB during MTP motion.
