Lecture 3 Flashcards
What are the motions of the foot
Dorsiflexion/plantar flexion and pronation/supination (eversion/inversion)
What ligaments hold together the inferior tibiofibular joint
anterior tibiofibular ligament, posterior tibiofibular ligament, and the interosseus membrane
What kind of joint is the inferior tibiofibular joint
Syndesmosis
What is the ankle joint
Hinge type synovial joint between tibia, fibula, and talus
What motion does the ankle joint allow
Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Where is the deltoid ligament located
On the medial ankle spanning from the medial malleolus to navicular, calcaneus, and talus bones.
What is the role of the deltoid ligament
Resists eversion of the foot
Where are the anterior and posterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments
They span the bones their names suggest and are all found on the lateral side of the ankle. THey work together to resists inversion of the foot
What is the most common kind of ankle sprain
Inversion sprain is most common because the lateral is more inferior that the medial malleolus and the deltoid ligament is stronger than the lateral ligaments.
What is the Talo-calcaneo-navicular joint
Head of the talus inserts between navicular and calcaneus
What is the spring ligament
Ligament between the calcaneus and navicular that prevents the talus from wedging the bones apart
What is the sub talar (talo-calcaneal) joint
The facet joint where the talus rests on the calcaneus
What motion happens at the Talo-calcaneo-navicular joint
inversion and eversion
Where is the long plantar ligament
Spans from the calcaneus to metatarsals 2-5 and forms a tunnel for the fibularis longs tendon
Where is the short plantar ligament located
From the calcaneus to the cuboid
Where is the deep transverse ligament
It spans the MTP joints to link all 5
What are the muscles of the anterior group of the leg and what innervates them
Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, exntensor digitorum longus, and fibularis tertius are all innervated by the deep fibular nerve (peroneal)
What is the origin and insertion of the tibialis anterior
O: upper 2/3 of tibia, interosseus membrane
I: 1st MT, medial cuneiform
What is the action of the tibilalis anterior
Dorsiflex and invert foot
What is the origin and insertion of extensor hallucis longus
O: fibula, interosseus membrane
I: distal phalanx hallux
What is the action of the extensor hallucis longus
extend hallux and dorsiflex foot
What is the origin and insertion of the extensor digitorum longus
O: upper 3/4 fibula, interosseus membrane
I: Middle and distal phalanges
What is the action of the extensor digitorum longus
Extend digits 2-5 and dorsiflex foot
What is the origin and insertion of the fibularis tertius
O: lower 1/3 fibula
I: 5th metatarsal
What is the action of the fibularis tertius
Dorsiflexion and eversion of foot
What is the innervation and action of the lateral group of the leg
N: Superficial fibular
A: evert and plantar flex foot
What is the origin and insertion of the fibularis longus
O: Upper 2/3 of fibula
I: 1st MT; medial cuneiform
What is the origin and insertion of the fibularis brevis
O: lower 1/3 of fibula
I: 5th MT
What is the innervation of the posterior group of the leg
Gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris, flexors digitorum longus and hallucis longus, and tibilas posterior are all innervated by the TIbial nerve
What is the origin and insertion of the gastrocnemius
O: femoral condyles
I: Calcaneus
What is the origin and insertion of the soleus
O: upper fibula and tibia
I: Calcaneus
What is the action of the gastrocnemius
Plantar flex foot (fast) flex knee
What is the action of the soleus
Plantar flex foot (slow) maintain standing
What is the origin and insertion of the plantaris
O: Lateral supracondylar ridge
I: calcaneus
