Q

What is a congenital curly toe

A

A flexion and Varus rotation of the DISTAL PHALANX at the DIPJ. commonly involves the 3rd and 4th or 5th toes. caused by flexor stablization.

29
Q

For flexor stabilization do arthroplasty for

A

older pts

30
Q

For flexor stabilization do arthrodesis for

A

younger pts

31
Q

High arch supinated foot causes

A

Extensor substiution (only do digital arthrodesis for this )

32
Q

What are some etiologies for HDS?

A

-pathibiomechanics: pathological pronation and supination
-Inflammatory arthritis - RH mostly
-Shoegear
-HAV: 2nd toe tries to stop big toe migration but cant so gets subluxed dorsally
-congenital: dont do sx kids
-trauma
_ Neuromuscular: causes cavus or high arched feet, flexor and extensor substitution

33
Q

What is the most common type of HDS etiology?

A

Flexor stablization

34
Q

what is flexor stablization ?

A

when FDL and FDB overpowers interossei

35
Q

FDL —-% of gait

A

10-51%

36
Q

Interossei fire at —-% of gait

A

35-62%

37
Q

When does flexor stablization occur in a pathologically pronated foot?

A

in the late stance phase of gait cycle

38
Q

What are some roles of Quadratus plantae in flexor stablization?

A
  • Stablize FDL tendon slips
  • stablizes Limbricales origins
  • Stablizes the oblique MT joint axis, lesser metatarsus W-stablizes toes against the lesser metatarsus
39
Q

What direction pull of the QP on FDL digital slips is lost with pathologocal pronation and/or MTJ subluxation?

A

Posterior/lateral and may begins to pull posterior/ medial

40
Q

what happens when angle and direction of pull is messed up?

A

propulsive instability of the most lateral (4th and 5th) toes. thus clinically see an adductovarus hammering of the 4th and 5th toes.

41
Q

is it acceptable to do fusion/ arthrodesis on 5th toe?

A

NOOOO!! bc the shoe will rub on that stiff toe and cause irritation

42
Q

What sx do you do on high arched foot?

A

Arthrodesis- bc there are so many deformities going on

43
Q

What is flexor substitution?

A

Flexors overpowers interossei in conjuction with weak triceps surae.

44
Q

What sx do you do for flexr stablization ?

A

Arthrodesis bc you are dealing with high arched feet

45
Q

What are some etilogies for flexor substitution?

A
  • TAL or gastroc recession

- supinated foot in late stance phase of gait

46
Q

Weak triceps surae causes early and longer firing of what muscles?

A

TP
FHL
FDL
which leads to digital deformities and STJ supination -> plantarflexes 1st ray with early and longer firing of the PL

47
Q

Gastroc normally fires

A

10-52% of gait

48
Q

soleus works about

A

5-42% of gait

49
Q

What kind of gait do you see with Flexor stablization?

A 
Calcaneous gait ( walkin on heels )
opposite of eqiuinus
50
Q

if you have high arched foot you can only do

A

Arthrodesis

Don’t do arthroplasty

51
Q

Digital deformities do not occur in a completely non functional gastroc nc

A

the propulsive phase is absent

52
Q

What is the least common cause of hammer toe?

A

flexor substitution

53
Q

What is extensor substitution?

A

When EDL overpowers lumbricales

54
Q

which phase of gait do you see more in extensor substitution?

A

More swing than stance

55
Q

What Sx do you do in extensor substitution??

A

Arthrodesis-you want to straighthen the toe but also make them into rigid beams so they dont flop around

56
Q

you do Arthrodesis in

A

High arched foot and extensor substitution

57
Q

you ask pt dor Df the foot and you realize the toes are at 90 degrees to MT, this pt has

A

Extensor substitution

58
Q

What muscle helps what muscles in terms ot making toes rigid beams and stablizing digits againt MT heads ?

A

EDL helping intrinsic muscles

59
Q

extensor substitution etiology?

A
  • Anterior pes cavus
  • FF equinus
  • lumbricales wasting
  • NM disease or PN
  • Spastic EDL
  • Ankle equinus - TA, EDL, EHL all trying to DF foot, so EDL causes overpowering of intrinsics and HDS
60
Q

extensor substitution is created any time the

A

EDL gains biomechanical advantage over the lumbricales.

61
Q

The EDL is a 2 phase muscle which gains advantage at either or both of thses times in gait

A
  1. stablize the toes at propulsion

2. Assists AJ dorsiflexion at early swing

62
Q

During propulaive phase EDL functions to stabilize lesser toes by reinforcing

A

The rigid lever phenomenon initiated by the lumbricales

63
Q

EDL stablized the PIPJ and DIPJ and creates with the lumbricales a

A

Rigid beam on the toe

64
Q

lumbricales mm stablize the phalanges against

A

the ground reactive forces

65
Q

rigid beams are created at

A

Early propulsion

66
Q

What are the primary stablizers of the digits?

A

Lumbricales and interossei

67
Q

which one is stronger? Lumbricales or EDL/EDB

A

lumbricales

68
Q

At midstance lumbricales prevent

A

Hammering of the toe

69
Q

What happens if lumbricales dysfunction at midstance ?

A

digital deformities
