lecture 21: leg and foot (bones and joints) Flashcards
how many joints are there in the legs
3
what are the 3 joints of the leg
proximal tibiofibular
middle tibiofibular
distal tibiofinular
what type of joint is the proximal tibiofibular
synovial plane and gliding
true or fasel: there is alot of movement at the proximal tibiofibular jt
false, limited movement
what are the two ligaments of the proximal tibiofibular
posterior and anterior ligament of the head of fibula
(anchors to tibia)
what is the connective tissue membrane in the lower leg
interosseus membrane
what type of joint is the middle tibiofibular
syndesmosis
wht is the function of the interosseus membrane of the leg
anchors the bones together
what type of joint is the distal tibiofibular
syndesmosis
what are the ligaments of the distal tibiofibular lig
anterior and posterior tibiofibular lig
transverse tibiofibular lig
what is the shape at the distal leg
U shape bracket for ankle joint
what are the 3 divisions of the foot
phalanges
metatarsals
tarsals
how many phalanges are there
14
what does hallux mean
big toe
true or flase, every finger has 3 phalanges (proximal, middle, fistal)
false, hallux only has two
(proximal, distal)
how many metatarsal are there
5
what are the intermediate bones between phalanfes and tarsals
metatarsals
where is metatarsal 1 in line with
big toe
true or false: metatarsal 1 is lateral
false, medial
how many tarsal are there &
7
what is equivalent to the carpals in the hand but in the foot
tarsals
what makes up the forefoot
metatarsalss and phalanges
what makes up the midfood
cuneiforms
navicular
cuboid
what makes up the hindfoot
talus and calcaneus
what are the 3 cuneiforms
medial
intermediate
lateral
whcich foot bone is most medial
navicular
which foot bone is most lateral
cboid
what part of the tarsals does articulation with the tibia and fibula
talus
what makes up the heel bone
calcaneus
what is the function of the calcaneous
increases lever arm for gastroc and soleus
what is the acronym for the bones of the foot tarsals
Tiny Cats Need MILC
how many sesmoid bones are there in the foot
2
what is the function of the sesmoid bones in the big toe
increase lever arm for the hallux digital flexors
=increases torque
what are common injuries of the sesamoids
sesamoiditis, sesamoid fractures q
what stance puts alot of pressure on the sesamoids
catchers stance
(being in extra dorsiflexion)
what type of foot strike can increase sesmoid injuryt
forefoot strike in running
(ball of foot gets all loading)
