C- Tibialis anterior D - extensor digitorum longus E- fibularis longus

21
Q
A

C- Tibialis anterior D- extensor digitorum longus O- Extensor hallucis longus J- Ant tib vessels and deep fib nerve, E- Fibularis longus P- fibularis brevis N- fibular vessels

22
Q
A

R- medial malleolus C- tibialis anterior O- extensor hallucis longus, D- extensor digitorum lognus and fibularis tertius, E- fibularis longus P- fibularis brevis Q- achilles tendon

23
Q

What is the attachment site for the posterior intermuscular membrane?

A

post border of the fibula

24
Q

What do we know about the muscles of the lateral compartment?

A

developmentally dorsal (post axial) muscles innervated by a nerve that is composed of posterior division fibers, major evertors, they travel posterior to the lat malleolar sulcus f. longus more superficial)

25
Q

On the lateral side of the calcaneus, how do f brevis and longus travel?

A

brevis travels above and longus travels below the peroneal trochlea. The two share a common synovial sheath up to the peroneal trochlea

26
Q

If there is an os vesalianum, where will it be invested?

A

It will be invested in Fib. brevis

27
Q

How does F longus travel down the lateral compartment?

A

It makes its way to the lateral side o f the cuboid where it travels through the peroneal notch, envelop its sesamoid (os peroneum) and then travels in close proximity to its peroneal sulcus.

28
Q

On rare occasions, there may be an accessory bone close to its insertion sites called__________

A

The pars peronea metatarsalis primi

29
Q

What is the origin, inn and insertion of FLongus?

A

supeiror 2/3 of lateral surface of fibula, superficial fibular nerve (L5-S2), insertion: base of 1st MT and medial cuneiform

30
Q

What is the main action of fib brevis and longus?

A

everts foot and weakly plantarflexes the ankle

31
Q

How does the peroneus longus run in relation to Fib brevis down the leg?

A

FL runs superficially to FB down the leg

32
Q

What muscle is palpable throughout much of its course in the leg?

A

peroneus longus

33
Q

What does eversion contribute to ?

A

pronation ( Pro Bed ) abduction eversion dorsiflexion

34
Q

Supination corresponds with …..

A

plantarflexion, inversion, adduction

Out of all the meninges, the PIAS DEAP

35
Q

Supination and inversion of the calcaneus causes what movements?

A

adduction of calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid, plantarflexion of the calcaneus, navicular and cuboid. *** TALUS moves in opposite direction so talus abducts and dorsiflexes

36
Q

With pronation, what movements occur?

A

the calcaneus everts, calcaneus, navic, cuboid dorsiflex, calc, navic, cub abduct. *** TALUS plantarflexes and adducts

37
Q

As the foot lowers to the ground for foot flat, _____ occurs and continues to midstance. Late midstance to toe-off , the foot __________.

A

pronation occurs, the foot supinates

38
Q

stance phase includes:

A

initial contact/heel strike: supination

foot flat to midstance: pronation ( pronating adaptor)

heel up to toe off: supination (stiff lever)

39
Q

During gait, both lateral compartment muscles are active prior to initital contact to prepare the foot for weight acceptance and to prevent _____________

A

excessive inversion at heel strike

40
Q

During gait, Fibularis longus ONLY does what??

A

aids in the pronation necessary for foot to accomodate, at midstance plantarflexes the first ray providing stability to this digit as weight is transferred to the forefoot.

41
Q

Lateral compartment muscles receive blood supply from where?

A

anterior tibial and fibular arteries

42
Q

Which branch is last off of the common fibular nerve before the nerve terminates into superficial and deep?

A

recurrent articular nerve. It runs with the ant tibial recurrent artery and also pierces the tibialis anterior m.

43
Q

What are the rami of the common fibular nerve?

A

L4-S2
