LEA Plantar Foot Part 2 Flashcards
2nd Layer
- 5 muscles (4 lumbricals, quadratus plantae)
- 2 tendons (FDL and FHL); All muscles attach to FDL
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius)
- Deep to FDB,
- 2 heads (origins)
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius) origin
Medial head: medial surface of calcaneus
Lateral head: trigonum plantare and inferior calcaneus distal to lateral tubercle
Quadratus plantae 2 heads origins are separated by
long plantar ligament
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius) insertion
heads unite to insert onto the FDL tendon
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius) blood supply
medial and lateral plantar arteries
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius) nerve
lateral plantar nerve
Quadratus plantae (flexor accesorius) function
redirects line of pull of FDL, assist in flexing phalanges
Lumbricals (Lumbricale Muscles)
1 is unipennate; 2,3,4 are bipennate
Lumbricals origin
- 1st lumbrical: medial side of 1st tendon of FDL (tendon going to 2nd digit)
- 2 – 4: adjacent tendons
(e.g. 3rd lumbrical: medial side of 3rd FDL tendon, lateral side of 2nd FDL tendon; 2nd lumbrical medial side of 2 FDL tendon, lateral side of 1 FDL Tendon)
lumbricals Tendons pass distally plantar to the
deep transverse metatarsal ligament
Lumbricals insertion
- medial aspect of extensor wing of the extensor expansion at base of proximal phalanx of digits 2-5
- (1st lumbrical goes to 2nd digit, 2nd lumbrical to 3rd digit)
Lumbricals blood
respective plantar metatarsal arteries
Lumbricals nerve
1st – medial plantar nerve
2-4 – deep branch of lateral plantar nerve
lumbricals function
flex MTP joints, extend PIP and DIP joints
3rd layer
3 muscles (FHB, FDMB, ADD Hallucis)
Flexor hallucis brevis 2 heads
medial and lateral
Flexor hallucis brevis origin
- lateral: plantar surface of cuboid and lateral cuneiform
- medial: tibialis posterior tendon
Flexor hallucis brevis insertion
medial and lateral base of proximal phalanx
Respective heads of FHB invest ___ before phalangeal insertion
respective hallux sesamoid bones
-Medial (tibial) and lateral (fibular)
Sesamoids
- increase the mechanical advantage of the FHB
- Weight-bearing structures and decrease friction
Flexor hallucis brevis blood supply
1st plantar metatarsal artery
Flexor hallucis brevis nerve
medial plantar nerve
Flexor hallucis brevis function
flex (plantarflex) hallux MTP joint
Flexor digiti minimi brevis origin
base of the 5th metatarsal, tendon sheath of fibulas longus
Flexor digiti minimi brevis insertion
plantar/lateral aspect of base of proximal phalanx of 5th toe
Flexor digiti minimi brevis bloody supply
lateral plantar artery
Flexor digiti minimi brevis nerve
superficial branch of lateral plantar nerve
Flexor digiti minimi brevis function
flex (plantarflex) 5th digit at MTP joint
adductor hallucis 2 heads
transverse and oblique
adductor hallucis origin
- transverse head: fibrous capsule, plantar plates of digits 3-5, deep transverse metatarsal ligament
- oblique head: plantar aspect of metatarsal bases 2-4; fibularis longus tendon sheath
adductor hallucis insertion
lateral sesamoid and lateral aspect of proximal phalanx base of 1st digit
adductor hallucis blood supply
plantar metatarsal arteries
