FOOT/ANKLE Flashcards
osteoarthritis
increased risk of fall
cartilaginous surfaces break down
osteoporosis
decreased bone density and mass: bone disease
structure and quality of bone changed
osteopenia
step before osteoporosis
osteomalacia
soft bone: disruption of osteoclast/osteoblast cycle: turn over isnt correct: new layer form does not mineralize properly and lays down like cartilage (can happen at any age vitamin D and calcium deficiencies
above talocrural joint, what are the directions?
superior/inferior, anterior/post
below talocrural joint, directions are;
proximal/distal, dorsal/plantar
the foot allows for stability for _____and mobility for_______
stability for rigid foot during push off and mobility for shock absorption in uneven terrain
rearfoot (hindfoot) is what two bones?
talus and calcaneus
what is a chopart amputation?
amputation at talus/calcaneus: everything else chopped off
Lisfranc amputation is
cutting off all the metatarsals
Midfoot three bones are
Navicular
Cuboid
Three cuneiform
Forefoot bones include
metatarsals and phalanges
Pronation is what three motions?
dorsiflexion
eversion
abduction
Supination is what three composite motions?
plantarflexion
inversion
adduction
Calcaneovalgus is pron/sup?
pronation
Calcaneovarus is pron/sup?
supination
three motions of the foot complex
Three Motions
DF and PF (talocrural)
INV and EV (subtalar)
ABD and ADD (subtalar, forefoot)
Flexion and Extension (toes)
proximal tibiofibular joint anatomically belongs to the ___ but functionally part of the ____
Anatomically belongs to the knee; functionally to the ankle/foot
proximal tib-fib joint works like a wrench how?
if fibula gets loose, less stability at the ankle
The distal tibiofibular joint is what type of joint?
syndesmosis union: no joint capsule, ligaments only
function of talocrurual joint is dependent on stability of the
tibiofibular joint
what ligaments are a part of the Distal tibiofibular joint
Anterior and posterior tib-fib ligaments
Interosseous ligaments
proximal injury of tibiofibular joint: what kind of trauma can lock prox tibfib joint?
inversion trauma
hypermobility of prox tibfib joint can lead to common fib nerve injury
distal tibiofibular injury can lead to
Injury to syndesmosis can lead to widening of “mortise” = instability at talocrural joint (tearing)
