Leg And Foot Flashcards
What is the joint type of the proximal tibiofibular joint?
Planar
What is the joint type of the middle tibiofibular joint?
Syndesmosis
What is the joint type of the distal tibiofibular joint?
Syndesmosis
What are the bones of the tarsals?
Navicular, cuneiforms (medial, intermediate, lateral), cuboid, talus, calcaneus
What is the joint type of the ankle joint?
Synovial, hinge joint
What are the movements of the talocrural joint?
Plantarflexion and dorsiflexion
What are the two collateral ligaments of the ankle joint?
Medial (deltoid) and lateral collateral ligaments
What are the functions of the collateral ligaments of the ankle joint?
Prevent abduction/adduction at talocrural joint
Posterior parts limit dorsiflexion and anterior parts limit plantarflexion
What types of joints are the following?
a) Talonavicular joint
b) Calcaneocuboid joint
a) Ball-and-socket
b) Plane/gliding
What are the movements of the synovial joints at the foot?
Flexion/extension (MTP, DIP, PIP) and abduction/adduction (MTP)
Which joints form the subtalar joint complex?
Talocalcaneonavicular joint and anatomic subtalar joint (gliding/plane)
What are the movements at the subtalar joint complex?
Eversion and inversion
What are the muscles of the anterior leg?
Extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior and fibularis tertius
What is the common function of the anterior compartment of the leg?
Ankle dorsiflexion
What are the borders of tibialis anterior?
Lateral tibial condyle and shaft, IO to medial cuneiform
What is the function of tibialis anterior?
Inversion
What are the borders of extensor hallucis longus?
Shaft of fibula and IO to distal phalanx of hallux
What are the functions of extensor hallucis longus?
Extension of hallux MTP and PIP/DIP
What are the borders of extensor digitorum longus?
Lateral tibial condyle, head of fibula and IO to dorsum of lateral 4 toes
What is the function of extensor digitorum longus?
Toe PIP/DIP extension
What are the borders of fibularis tertius?
Distal fibula to dorsal surface of MT V.
What are the functions of fibularis tertius?
Weak dorsiflexion and eversion
What innervates the anterior compartment of the leg?
Deep fibular nerve
