Foot and Ankle Flashcards
Biomechanical etiology for lack of heel-rise in patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
Failure of posterior tibial tendon to lock the transverse tarsal joints.
Transverse tarsal joints.
Calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints.
Bones of the hindfoot.
Calcaneus, talus, cuboid.
Eponym of the tarsometatarsal joints.
Lisfranc joint.
Eponym of the transverse tarsal joints.
Chopart joint.
The first metatarsal bone bears ____% of the weight through the foot during gait.
50%
%-gait cycle in stance phase versus swing phase.
60% stance
40% swing
Definition of walking.
Period of double-limb support with always having one foot in contact with ground throughout gait cycle.
During swing phase the anterior tibialis contracts concentrically or eccentrically?
Concentrically.
During heel strike phase of gait the anteiror tibialis contract concentrically or eccentrically?
Eccentrically.
Coronal alignment of hindfoot during heel strike.
Everted (unlocked for energy absorption).
ABI of 1.3 or greater indicative of this.
Calcified vessels.
Toe pressure threshold predictive for healing.
Greater than 40 mmHg.
Transcutaneous oxygen pressure threshold predictive of healing.
Greater than 30 mmHg.
Most predictive sign for development of foot ulceration.
Neuropathy diagnosed with 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilament exam.
Positive Mulder sign indicates this.
Interdigital neuroma.
How to perorm Mulder test.
Apply dorsal pressure to web space. Compress metatarsal heads. Poisitive test is audible click with radiating pain into affected toes.
Ankle anterior drawer test tests for this.
Stability of lateral ankle.
Ankle varus talar tilt test tests for this.
Stability of lateral ankle.
Ankle anterior drawer test evaluates competence of this ligament.
Anterior talofibular ligament.
Inversion of ankle in dorsiflexion evaluates this ligament.
Calcaneofibular ligament.
Purpose of Canale view of foot.
Talar neck view for fracture.
