Deep infections of the foot can affect which compartment in the leg?
\*\* CENTRAL compartment: FDB, FHL tendon, FDL tendon, quadratus plantae , lumbricals, adductor hallucis, Lateral plantar nerve and vessels
150
If an incision is located from just above the ankle joint to 2 cm medial to MT 5, what dermatome is this located in?
S1 and L5
151
With an anterolateral surgical approach, what structures could be affected?
superior/inferior ext. retinaculum, and terminal branches of superficial fibular nerve
152
What two tendons will you encounter if you cut through superior and stem of inferior retinacula?
Extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius
153
if you incise down to bone, lateral to EDL and FT, what structures will you see?
Interosseus membrane, ant inf. tibiofib ligament, anterior talofib lig.
154
Distal to the sinus tarsi fat pad, what structure is in the surgical field?
Belly of EDB and EHB
155
If the sinus tarsi fat pad and origin of intrinsic extensors is removed, what ligament is in view?
Cervical ligament, Runs from sulcus calcanei to neck of talus
156
What two muscles are located on the dorsum of the foot? What is their innervation and blood supply?
Extensor digitorum brevis and extensor hallucis brevis . Lateral terminal branch of deep fib and lateral tarsal artery
157
What are the origins of EDB? What tendons pass superficially? What is its insertion?
O: floor of sinus tarsi, sulcus calcanei , infer extensor retinaculum, interosseus talocalcaneal ligament. Tendons: FT and EDL . I: tendons to the 2-4th digits (5th if EDB is present), each tendon fuses with its respective EDLT as it crosses the PP. Terminates on IP and DP.
158
As the EDB tendon crosses the PP joint, what tendon is it joined by?
EDL tendon . At PP head, combined tendons trifurcate into 1 middle, lateral and medial slip. Middle slip attaches to IP base and Medial/lateral slips reunite and attach at DP base.
159
What tendons pass superficially to EHB?
FT and EDL , As it approaches MTPJ1, it passes deep to the EHLT and inserts onto the base of PP Dorsiflexes MTPJ1
160
What does the superficial fibular nerve serve?
muscles of lateral compt. begins at inferior 1/3 leg and becomes superficial . Intm dorsal cutaneous n, medial dorsal cut. branches
161
What branches do the intermediate and medial dorsal cutaneous nerve give off?
Intm: leads to 2 common dorsal digital branches, then 2 proper dorsal digital branches. medial: 1 common that leads to 2 proper dorsal digital branches and 1 proper dorsal digital branch to the medial side of the hallux
162
the gray area covers what dermatome?
L5 and S1
163
What does the lateral branch of the deep fibular nerve innervate?
travels with 1 or 2 lateral tarsal arteries, innervates EDB and EHB. Sends a twig to 2nd dorsal interosseus muscle
164
What does the medial terminal branch of the deep fib innervate?
travels on the lateral side of the dorsalis pedis then with the first dorsal met artery and its branches. Sometimes sends a twig to 1st dorsal interosseous. At 1st Inter met space, it divides into 2 proper dorsal digital nerves( sensory to dorsal web space) Only sensory up to proximal part of nail bed. \*\*\* Important for adminis. digital nerve blocks\*\*
165
Longus is superficial to brevis on what aspect? Brevis is superficial to longus on what aspect?
dorsal, plantar
166
When are 4 ant muscles especially active during the gait cycle?
Heel contact / heel strike/ initial contact . They decelerate the foot so it touches down on the ground in a controlled manner. Swing phase: keeps the foot from dragging on the ground.
167
What are unique actions of TA, EDL and FT?
TA is also an inverter, EDL and FT are also weak evertors. ALL ant comp. muscles have a site of origin on the interosseus membrane.
168
What artery supplies extensor digitorum brevis and extensor hallucis brevis
lateral tarsal artery
