Lecture 2 Flashcards
Tibia
Principal weight bearing bone of lower leg
Medial Malleous
Fibula
Long thin bone, lateral to tibia,
Primarily for muscle attachment
Lateral malleolus
Talus
Rests on calcaneus
Main weight bearing bone of ankle joint
Talar dome
Calcaneus
Heel bone
Largest tarsal bone
Talocrural joint
Synovial (joint capsule surrounded)
Hinge (flexion/extension)
Eversion and inversion is a result of subtalar joint between talus and calcaneus.
Mortise and tenon
Mortise is the top (Tibia )
Tenon is the bottom (Talus)
Very stable
Tibia & fibular
Syndesmosis.
AITFL + PITFL
Interosseus membrane . Hold tibia and fibular together.
Talus
Wider anteriorly
More stable in dorsiflexion
Ankle muscle anterior
Tibilais anterior
EHL EDL
Dorsiflexsion, in/eversion
Ankle muscle posterior
Gastrocnemius and soleus
plantar flexion
Posterior medial
Tibialis posterior (inversion / plantar flexion FHL FDL
Laterally
Peroneus longus, brevi, tertius
Eversion
Tibialias anterior
Dorsiflextion + slight inversion
EDL
Toe 2- 5
Dorsiflextion / eversion
EHL
1st toe
Dorsiflextion + slight inversion
