foot and ankle arthrology Flashcards
where is the talocrural joint
Trochlear surface of the body of the Talus & the distal ends of the Tibia & Fibula (malleolus)
what type of joint is the talocrural
tenon and mortise joint
where is the subtalar joint
Articulations between
* Talus – inferior surface
* Calcaneus – superior surface
where is the talocalcaneonavicular joint
between the talus, calcaneus and navicular
where is the (mid) tarsal joint
consists of the calcaneocuboid joint (calcaneus + cuboid) + talonavicular joint (talus + navicular)
where is the calcaneocuboid joint
between calcaneus and cuboid
where is the talonavicular joint
between the talus and navicular
where is the tarsometatarsal joint (TMT)
between metatarsal bases, cuneiforms and cuboid
where is the intertarsal joint
The joints between the tarsal bones of the foot
where is the metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP)
between proximal phalanx and distal metatarsal
where is the interphalangeal joints (IP)
between phalanx
where/what does the anterior talofibular ligament (AFTL) do
- anterior edge of lateral malleolus of fibula to neck of talus
- stops inversion
where/what does the posterior talofibular ligament (PFTL) do
- posterior edge of the lateral malleolus of fibula to posterior edge of talus
- stops inversion
where/what does the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) do
-lateral aspect of lateral malleolus to the lateral border of the calcaneus
- stops inversion
where/what does the deltoid ligament do
-tibia to talus, navicular + sustentaculum tali on calcaneus
- protects eversion
