16
Q

A ligament that attaches between the medial malleolus and the tarsal bones of the medial foot. It checks eversion of the ankle and is a very strong ligament that can lead to avulsion fractures.

A

Deltoid Ligament

17
Q

When a small chunk of bone is pulled away by a tendon/ligament.

A

Avulsion Fracture

18
Q

A ligament that attaches between the lateral malleolus and the neck of the talus. It checks inversion of the ankle, especially in plantar flexion. It is palpated through the sinus tarsi.

A

Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL)

19
Q

Which ligament is the most commonly injured in the ankle, accounting for 95% of ankle sprains?

A

Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL)

20
Q

A ligament that attaches between the lateral malleolus and the lateral calcaneus. It checks inversion when the ankle is in neutral.

A

Calcaneofibular Ligament

21
Q

A bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the overlying skin.

A

Subcutaneous Calcaneal (aka. Retrocalcaneal)

22
Q

A bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus.

A

Subtendinous Calcaneal

23
Q

A joint where the inferior aspect of the talus articulates with the superior calcaneus.

A

Subtalar Joint

24
Q

What type of joint is the subtalar joint classified as?

A

Synovial Plane Joint

25
Q

What 2 movements are available at the subtalar joint?

A

1) Inversion
2) Eversion

26
Q

A joint involving the articulation between the talus, the calcaneus, and the navicular. The spring ligament and the sustentaculum tali are also involved.

A

Talocalcaneonavicular Joint

27
Q

What type of joint is the talocalcaneonavicular classified as?

A

Synovial Ball & Socket Joint

28
Q

Which 2 movements are increased at the talocalcaneonavicular joint?

A

1) Inversion
2) Eversion

29
Q

A ligament that attaches between the sustentaculum tali and the posteroinferior surface of the navicular.

A

Plantar Calcaneonavicular Ligament (aka. Spring Ligament)

30
Q

Which ligament helps to maintain the medial longitudinal arch by supporting the head of the talus?

A

Plantar Calcaneonavicular Ligament (aka. Spring Ligament)

31
Q

Term referring to flat feet.

A

Pes Planus

32
Q

Term referring to high arch.

A

Pes Cavus
