37
Q

which retinaculum is described as a y-shaped band?

A

inferior extensor retinaculum

38
Q

the stem part of the ‘y’ retinaculum is know as what?

A

frondiform ligament

39
Q

where does the frondiform ligament attach?

A

lateral surface of the calcaneus at sinus tarsi and sinus canal

40
Q

the superomedial limb of inferior extensor retinaculum attaches where? inferomedial limb?

A

superior - medial malleolus

inferior - blends with deep fascia along medial side of foot at cuneonavicular jt

41
Q

how often is there a superolateral limb to the inferior extensor retinaculum?

A

25%

if present it extends up to the lateral malleolus

it found gives the inferior extensor retinaculum an X/cruciate shape

42
Q

what surround tendons of the extensor muscles?

A

synovial sheaths

43
Q

how many synovial sheaths can be found below the inferior extensor retinaculum?

A

3

1 - tibialis anterior tendon
1- extensor hallucis longus
1 - peroneus tertius and extensory digitorum longus

44
Q

how many tendons does the extensor digitorum brevis have?

A

3 to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes

at times the medial tendon has a separate belly called the extensor hallucis brevis

45
Q

The tendons of the extensor hallucis brevis and extensor digitorum brevis join what other tendons?

A

join the lateral side of the tendons of the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus

46
Q

what is the continuation of the anterior tibial a. in the foot?

A

dorsalis pedis a.

47
Q

what a. is usually the first and largest branch of the dorsalis pedis?

A

lateral tarsal a.

usually arises from the lateral side of the dorsalis pedis near the distal border of the inferior extensor retinaculum

courses deep to extensor digitorum brevis m.

the lateral tarsal a. has communicating branches with what a?

A

perforating branch of the peroneal a.

also anastomoses with the terminal part of the arcuate a.

which a. arise directly from the arcuate a.?

A

(3)

2nd, 3rd, and 4th dorsal metatarsal a.

55
Q

what supplies the dorsal interosseous mm?

dorsal metatarsal a. (course directly across the anterior surface of these m.)

56
Q

each dorsal metatarsal a gives rise to what a?

A

two dorsal digital arteries

57
Q

the dorsal digital aa. eventually anastomose with what aa?

A

proper plantar aa.

58
Q

which arteries originate from the plantar arch and perforate dorsally to join the proximal ends of the dorsal metatarsal arteries?

A

proximal/posterior perforating branches

59
Q

what arteries do the dorsal metatarsal aa receive at the distal end?

A

distal/anterior perforating branches

branches of the plantar metatarsal aa

60
Q

where can you find the distal perforating branches?

A

lateral sides of the tendons of the dorsal interossei m.

61
Q

when do the dorsal metatarsal arteries become known as the common dorsal digital aa?

A

after receiving the perforating branches

62
Q

two dorsal digital arteries arise from one artery known as what?

A

common dorsal digital arteries

63
Q

what are the two terminal branches of the dorsalis pedis artery?

A

first dorsal metatarsal a
AND
deep plantar a.

64
Q

the 1st dorsal digital artery arises from what a.?

A

1st dorsal metatarsal

goes to the medial side of 1st toe

65
Q

which perforating branches does the 1st dorsal metatarsal a. receive?

A

only the distal perforating branch

does not receive a proximal perforating branch since the deep plantar a. takes it place

66
Q

the 1st common dorsal digital a. is formed when?

A

1st dorsal metatasal a. is joined by a distal perforating branch

67
Q

what n. courses with the lateral tarsal a. to provide branches to extensor digitorum brevis m.?

lateral terminal branch of the deep peroneal n.

68
Q

2nd and 3rd dorsal digital a.

69
Q

what a. is found piercing through the interosseous membrane to gain access to the dorsal part of the foot?

A

perforating branch of the peroneal a.

usually small but on occasion is lg and takes over the vascular supply of dorsal foot
