foot joints

Question 1

what type of joints are the prox and distal tibiofibular joints

Answer 1

prox- synovial

distal-syndesmosis

Question 2

what two ligs help stabilize the distal tibiofib joint

Answer 2

Ant and post tibiofibular j

Question 3

what three ligs make up the distal syndesmosis

Answer 3

interosseous tibiofibular
posterior tibiofibular
inferior transverse tibiofibular

Question 4

attachments of post tibiofibular lig

Answer 4

malleolar fossa to postlat margin of tibia

Question 5

attachments of transverse tibiofibular lig

Answer 5

btwn post margin of medial malleolus and malleolar fossa of lat malleolus

forms malleolar mortise

Question 6

what surfaces make up the talocrural hinge j

Answer 6

formed by tibia, fibula and talus

superior articular facet, lateral malleolar face, medial articular facet

Question 7

when is the talocrural joint most unstable

Answer 7

when it is plantar flexed because the post part of the talus is thinner

Question 8

what 4 ligs make up the medial collateral deltoid lig of the ankle

Answer 8

• Ant tibiotalar
• tibionavivular
• tibiocalcaneal
• post tibiotalar

Question 9

what structure makes the floor of the tarsal tunnel

Answer 9

deltoid lig

Question 10

3 lat collateral ligs

Answer 10

post talofibular
calcaneofibular
ant talofibular

Question 11

fibulas longus and braves crosses what log

Answer 11

calcaneofubibular

Question 12

most frequently torn lig in lat ankle

Answer 12

ant talofibular

Question 13

what happens during an eversion sprain

Answer 13

medial malleolus is torn off by tibiocalcaneal lig

Question 14

what makes up the subtler j

Answer 14

inf surface of talus (post)

Sup surface of calcaneus (post)

Question 15

what stabilizes the subtlar j

Answer 15

interosseous talocalcaneal j

Question 16

what is the tarsal sinus and where is it located

Answer 16

btw calcaneal sulcus and talar sulcus lat side

interosseous talcalcaneal fills it

Question 17

where does more inversion + eversion take place in the foot

Answer 17

talo-calcaneo-navicular plane synovial j

Question 18

what makes up the transverse tarsal ball and socket joint and what stabalizes it

Answer 18

calcaneocuboid j
talonavicular j

bifurcate lig

Question 19

where does the bifurcate lig attach

Answer 19

dorsal calcaneous and then bifurcate to cuboid and navicular

Question 20

where does the lisfranc lig go and what joint does it stabilize

Answer 20

base of medial cuniform to base of 2nd metatarsal

stabilizes tarsometatarsal lisfrank j

Question 21

what lig is found on either side of the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal j

Answer 21

medial and lat collateral ligaments

Question 22

where do the medial and lat collateral ligs attach and in what movement do they get taught

Answer 22

dorsal surface of the proximal bone to the dorsal tubercle of the metatarsal bone

Question 23

what are the 5 ligs on the plantar surface of the foot

Answer 23

1. long plantar
2. short plantar
3. spring lig (calcaneonavicular)
4. plantar lig plates
5. deep transverse metatarsal lig

Question 24

attachments of long and short plantar lig

Answer 24

long- base of calcaneous to groove of cuboid and bases of metatarsals

short- ant tubercle of base of calcaneous to inf surface of cuboid

Question 25

attachments of spring lig and what happens when it tears

Answer 25

medial bird of satinaculum tali and med margin of calcaneal bone

squires flat foot

Question 26

where are the plantar plate lig found

Answer 26

thickening along the plantar surface of the metatarsal, phalangeal and interphalengeal j

Question 27

where is the deep transverse metatarsal log found

Answer 27

interconnecting the plantar plate ligs
