leg and ankle joint Flashcards
4 compartments to leg
anterior
lateral
superficial posterior
deep posterior
between anterior compartment and deep posterior compartment is
interosseous membrane
between anterior compartment and lateral compartment is
intermuscualar septum
anterior compartment (4)
tibias anterior
extensor hallucis longus
extensor digitorum longus
fibulas tertius
anterior compartment
dorsiflexors
deep fibular nerve (common fibular nerve)
anterior tibial artery
dorsiflexors
inn: Deep fibular nerve
branches of common fibular nerve
blood: anterior tibial artery
trials anterior
I: medial cuneiform and metatarsal 1
action: dorsiflex , inversion
extensor hallucis longus
I: digit 1 or great toe
action: dorsiflex
extensor digitorum longus
digits 2-5 or digital phalanx
fibulas tertius
I: base of the 5th metatarsal
Action: dorsiflex, eversion
fibulas tertius
13% of FT muscles are missed in clinical tests
on aver the clinical studies show a prevalence of 80%
which nerve goes to the anterior compartment
deep fibular nerve
wich nerve goes to the lateral compartment
superficial fibular nerve
blood supplies to anterior compartment
anterior tibial artery
deep fibular nerve - lateral terminal branch innervates
extensor hallucis brevis
superficial fibular nerve becoming
dorsal digital nerves
shin splints
overdue resulting in trauma of tibia’s anterior due to small tears in periosteum
damage to deep fibular nerve may result to?
weak dorsiflexion / drop foot
lateral compartment
fibulas longus
fibulas brevis
lateral compartment
plantar flexion
eversion
superficial fibular nerve
fibular artery
medial sural branches of
tibial nerve
lateral sural branches of
common fibular nerve
lateral compartment blood supply
Fibular artery
