FOOT/ANKLE PROC. Flashcards
Metatarsals consist of:
Proximal = __________, Distal = ___________
Which metatarsal is the thickest? Longest?
Which metatarsal contains a tuberosity?
Most common fractures occur where? Name?
Body (shaft) & two articular ends.
-Prox = base, Distal = Head
-Thickest = first
Longest = second
-Base of Fifth Metatarsal
- 5th metatarsal tuberosity = Jone Fx
Joints of the metatarsals =
How many bones of Foot?
Mnemonic?
Metatarsophalanges (MTP) and Tarsometatarsal (TMT)
Calcaneus, Talus, Cuboid, Navicular & Cuneiform
-COME TO COLORADO NEXT CHRISTMAS
-LARGEST TARSAL?
-WHERE DOES ACHILLIES TENDON ATTACH?
-WHAT ARTICULATES WITH TALUS?
-LATERAL TARSAL BONE =
-MEDIAL TARSAL BONE =
-TARSAL CONNECTING TO DIGITS 1-3 =
-CALCANEUS = LARGEST
-TUBEROSITY OF CALCANEUS
-TIB, FIBM CALCANEUS & NAVICULAR ART.
-LATERALLY = CUBOID
-MEDIALLY = NAVICULAR
-CUNEIFORMS CONNECT DIGITS 1-3
WHERE IS THE WEIGHT OF THE BODY TRANSMITTED IN ERECT POSITION?
- AKA?
WHAT IS THE SINUS TARSI?
WHAT IS A SESAMOID BONE? WHERE LOCATED?
THREE ARTICULAR FACETS AT SUBTALAR JOINT
- TALOCALCANEAL JOINT = SUBTALAR
SINUS TARSI = OPENING IN MIDDLE OF SUBTALAR JOINT
-SMALL DETACHED BONES IN FEET & HANDS, EMBEDDED IN TENDONS / NEAR JOINTS
LARGEST SESAMOID BONE LOCATED WHERE?
NAME & LOCATION OF SESAMOID BONES IN FEET: ____________ & _______________
WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
HOW ARE BONES IN FOOR ARRANGED? WHY?
PATELLA = LARGEST
TIBIAL (MEDIAL) & FIBULAR (LATERAL) - LOCATED BETWEEN 1ST MT & MTP JOINT
COMMON FRACTURE / PAINFUL DUE TO LOCATION
LONGITUDINAL & TRANSVERSE ARCHES = STRONG SHOCK ABSORBERS FOR WEIGHT
