12
Q

Available movements of the talocrural joint

A

Dorsiflexion, Plantarflexion
note: during dorsiflexion, the talus forces the tibia and fibula apart which affects the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints

attaches: lateral malleolus to the neck of the talus
palpated through the sinus tarsi
most commonly injured ligament in the foot

A

anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL)

19
Q

attaches: lateral malleolus to the lateral calcaneus
checks: inversion (when the ankle is in neutral)

A

calcaneofibular ligament

Subcutaneous calcaneal (aka retrocalcaneal)
Subtendinous calcaneal
21
Q

bursa between the achilles tendon and the overlying skin?

A

Subcutaneous calcaneal

22
Q

bursa between the achilles tendon and the calcaneus?

A

Subtendinous calcaneal

23
Q

The Intertarsal Joints are?

A

Subtalar, talocalcaneonavicular joint, calcaneocuboid

24
Q

The inferior aspect of the talus articulates with the superior aspect of the calcaneus
synovial plane joint; checks for inversion and eversion

A

subtalar joint

25
Q

The articulation between the talus, the calcaneus, and the navicular
synovial ball and socket joint

A

talocalcaneonavicular joint

26
Q

a.k.a spring ligament

A

plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

27
Q

ligament that attaches: sustentaculum tali to the the posteroinferior surface of the naivular and helps maintain the medial longitudinal arch

A

plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

28
Q

if the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament is stretches, what happens to the head of the talus?

A

sinks resulting in flat foot(pes planus)

29
Q

synovial plane joint that articulates between the calcaneus and the cuboid

A

The calcaneocuboid Joint

30
Q

ligament of the Calcaneocuboid Joint; forms a tunnel for the peroneus longus tendon

A

long plantar ligament

31
Q

Ligament that attaches: plantar surface of the calcaneus to the cuboid and the bases of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th MTs; helps maintaint the arches of the foot

A

long plantar ligament

32
Q

aka midtarsal joint

A

The transverse Tarsal Joint

33
Q

the talocalcaneonavicular joint and the calcaneocuboid joint are referred to as the?

A

Tranverse tarsal or midtarsal joint

34
Q

joint that helps to increase the inversion/eversion range by allowing abduction and adduction of the forefoot

A

The transverse tarsal joint

35
Q

distal 4 tarsal bones articulate with the bases of the metatarsal joints; plane joint; limited movement

A

the tarsometatarsal joints

36
Q

Ligaments associated with the tarsometatarsal and the intermetatarsal joints are?

A

dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments

37
Q

bases of the metatarsals; plane joint; limited movement

38
Q

what joint has the bases of the 2nd through the 5th metatarsals firmly bound by dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments

A

intermetatarsal joints

39
Q

the heads of the metatarsal articulates with the bases of the proximal phalanges; condyloid joint; available movements are flexion, extension, some abduction, adduction, circumduction

A

The Metatarsophalangeal Joint (MTP)

40
Q

Joint that has collateral ligaments on either side of the joints; the plantar surface of the joint capsules are thickened to form the plantar plate (ligaments)

A

Metatarsophalangeal Joint

41
Q

The head of one phalanx articulates with the base of the phalanx distal to it; synovial hinge; movements flexion and extension, has collateral ligaments

A
