Foot/Ankle Flashcards
Foot bone at risk of AVN and why?
Talus, retrograde blood supply
Which tendon passes through groove on cuboid bone?
Peroneus longus
Which muscle inserts on the tuberosity of naviular
Posterior tibialis
Which muscle inserts on base of 5th MT?
Peroneus brevis
Contents of tarsal tunnel?
Within medial malleolus Tibialis posterior FDH Posterior tibial A, V, N FHL
2nd MT aligns with which bone?
medial cuneiform
Weber/AO classification
Ankle fx (fibula) based on relation to plafond
A: distal to plafond (tibial plane)
B: at plafond
C: proximal to plafond (torn syndesmosis common)
Lange-Hansen classification
Ankle fx based on foot position and mechanism SA: supination/adduction I-II SER: supination/ER I-IV PER: pronation/ER I-IV PA: pronation/abduction I-III
Essex-Lopresti fx
Fx of calcaneus
Either tongue-type or joint depression
Sanders fx
Calcaneus based on coronal CT findings
I-IV: how many fragments/fracture lines
A-C: lateral to medial
Rule out with ankle fx?
Spine injury
Bohler’s angle
Lines drawn tangential to anterior and posterior aspects of the calcaneus. May indicate fx if
Hawkins classification
Talus neck fx. Predicts AVN risk
I: nondisplaced (
Hawkin’s sign
Resorption of subchondral bone in talus (lucency on XR) indicates fracture healing
Fleck sign
Avulsion of lisfranc ligament from 2nd MT base
Lisfranc (TMT joint) classification
Isolated, homolateral, divergent
MT base fx classification
Zone 1: avulsion fx
Zone 2: metadiaphyseal jxn (Jones fx)
Zone 3: proximal diaphysis (stress fx)
Jones fx?
Zone 2 fx of MT base (metadiaphysial)
1 and # 2 injured ligaments in ankle sprains
ATFL #1, CFL #2
Action of ATFL?
Resists anterior motion
Action of CFL?
Resists inversion
Action of deltoid ligament?
Resists eversion
