24
Q

What are the joints involved in everting the foot?

A

1, Talocalcaneonavicular (Mid-tarsal) joint

26
Q

Describe the sole of the foot

A
  1. Thick, hairless
  2. Firmly found to underly deep fascia by numerous fibrous bands
  3. Has many sweat glands
27
Q

What is the sensory nerve supply to the sole of the foot?

A
  1. Medial Plantar Nerve

2. Lateral Plantar Nerve

28
Q

Describe the Plantar Aponeurosis

A

It is triangular in shape and occupies the centre of the sole. The apex is attached to the calcaneus and the base divides into 5 slips, each dividing into 2 and diverging around the flexor tendons

29
Q

What are the functions of the sole of the foot?

A
  1. Firm attachment to the skin
  2. Protect neuromuscular bundle
  3. Assist in maintaining arches
30
Q

How many layers of muscle are there in the foot?

A

4 layers

31
Q

What are in the 1st layer of muscles in the foot?

A

3 muscles–> Abductors (Hallucis and Digiti Mini) and Flexor Digitorum Brevis

32
Q

What are in the 2nd layer of muscles in the foot?

A

2 Muscles and 2 Tendons–> Lumbricals (4), Quadratus PLantae and Tendons of Flexor Haluucis Longus and Flexor Digitorum Longus

33
Q

What are in the 3rd layer of muscles in the foot?

A

3 Muscles–> Flexor Hallucis Brevis, Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis and Adductor Hallucis

34
Q

What are in the 4th layer of muscles in the foot?

A

2 Muscles and 2 tendons–> Dorsal Interossei, Plantar interossei, and Tendons of Tibialis Posterior and Peroneus Longus

35
Q

What is the nerve supply to the sole of the foot?

A

Lateral Plantar Nerve, except the 3rd layer of muscles and the 1st Lumbrical, which are supplied by the Medial Plantar Nerve

36
Q

What is the arterial supply to the sole of the foot?

A

Medial and Lateral Plantar Arteries, which arise from Posterior Tibial Artery

37
Q

What does the Medial Plantar Artery supply?

A

Medial side of the big toe

38
Q

Describe the course of Lateral Plantar Artery

A

It passes deep to flexor retinaculum and muscles of the foot to form the Plantar Arch, and joins with the Dorsalis Pedis Artery in the first inter metatarsal space

39
Q

Describe the venous drainage of the sole of the foot

A

Medial and Lateral Plantar Veins accompany their corresponding arteries and unite behind medial malleolus to form the Posterior Tibial Venae Comitantes

Q

Describe the Motor Nerve supply of the foot

A
  1. Medial Plantar Nerve supplies Abductor Hallucis, Flexor Digitorum Brevis, Flexor Hallucis Brevis and 1st Lumbrical
