Q

Lisfranc ORIF vs Arthrodesis. Whats the evidence?

A

Ly and Coetzee performed a Level 1 investigation of 41 patients with an isolated acute or subacute Lisfranc dislocation treated with ORIF or primary arthrodesis of the medial column of midfoot. Two years postoperatively, the mean AOFAS Midfoot score was 68.6 points in the open-reduction group and 88 points in the arthrodesis group (p < 0.005). Postoperative level of activities was significantly higher in the arthrodesis group and 25% of the ORIF group required a subsequent revision to an arthrodesis. They concluded that primary arthrodesis of the medial two or three rays has a better short and medium-term outcome than ORIF.

lies superficial to plantaris and popliteus

dives deep to soleus through fibrous arch

enters deep posterior compartment, travels just deep to transverse IM septum

runs with posterior tibial a and v, between FHL and FDL

stays between them and wraps behind medial malle in tarsal tunnel

gives off calcaneal branch

enters tarsal tunnel, bifurcates into medial and lateral plantar nerves

exits tunnel (both) and runs between 1st and 2nd plantar layer

divides into sup and deep per. n.

96
Q

describe the path of the deep peroneal n from start to finish

then between per longus and brevis

heads anterior distally and travels between EDL and per brevis (still within superficial compartment, along IOM)

pierces fascia 10-12cm above lateral malleolus to become superifical within fat

just anterior to fibula

tibial n gives off medial sural cutaneous n in popliteal fossa which travels between heads of gastroc along with short saphenous v DEEP to deep fascia (no sensory fxn yet)

pierces fascia in middle of calf to become subcutaneous

joins up with a branch from lateral sural cutaneous - becomes the sural nerve itself

sural n travels with short saphenous v (lateral to v) and runs between lateral malle and achilles - more proximal=closer to achilles, more distal=closer to lateral malle

gives off lateral calcaneal branches

terminates as lateral dorsal cutaneous n on latedral side of foot/5th toe

Q

describe the path of the saphenous nerve from where it exits hunter’s canal to finish

A

exits hunter’s canal, becomes subcutaneous

gives off infrapatellar branch that crosses inferior to patella

the rest travels as medial cutanous nerve of leg AKA medial crural cutaneous branches

supplies sensation to medial leg, running with great saphenous vein

continues just anterior to medial malle to innervate skin on medial/dorsal foot.

100
Q

describe the path of the great saphenous vein

A

starts as dorsal vein of hallux and merges with dorsal venous arch

passes anterior to medial malle (with saphenous n) and goes up medial side of leg

at level of knee, lies posterior to medial epicondyle

goes up medial thigh

passes through fossa ovalis AKA saphenous opening

drains into femoral vein

101
Q

describe the path of the popliteal artery

A

superficial femoral artery becomes popliteal artery when it enters popliteal foss abetween biceps and semi-M

in popliteal fossa (lateral to medial)

tibial n, pop v, pop ARTERY (most medial)

lies behind posterior horn of lateral meniscus, about 9mm from the posterior tib plateau with knee flexed to 90

superfiical to popliteus (like popliteal n)

deep to gastroc/soleus, passes under fibrous arch of soleus

bifurcates at distal aspect of poplitues into anterio tibial a. and tibioperoneal trunk

tibioperoneal trunk divides into posterior tiibal a. and peroneal a about 2.5cm below pop fossa

102
Q

describe the path of the anterior tibial artery

A

branches from popliteal artery and passes between 2 heads of tib post

pierces IOM into anterior compartment

runs down with deep peroneal n (medial to nerve) along anterior aspect of IOM

first branch: anterior tibial recurrent artery

stays between EHL and tib ant until ankle

crosses under EHL at ankle then lies between EHL and EDL

becomes dorsalis pedis artery

103
Q

describe the path of the posterior tibial artery

A

tibioperoneal trunk divides, giving off posterior tibial artery (deep to soleus, superficial to tib post but within deep posterior compartment)

posterior tibial artery runs with tibial nerve, still superficial to tib post

gives off nutrient artery to tibia itself

follows path of tibial nerve- becomes medial and lateral plantar arteries

at tarsal tunnel - tom dick And very nervous harry

104
Q

describe the path of the peroneal artery

A

tibioperoneal trunk giveso ff this branch, superficial to tib post, deep to soleus

stays within deep posterior compartment

runs deep to FHL

becomes perforating peroneal artery - passes from posterior to anterior compartment through IOM

supplies talus

gives off lateral calcaneal branch

105
Q

what muscles does the medial plantar n supply?

A

abd hallucis

fdb

fhb

1st lumbrical

(all others on plantar foot supplied by lateral plantar n)
