LL: Foot Flashcards
Bones of the foot

Sustentaculum Tali
Projection from calcaneus allowing talus placement
Parts of deltoid ligament
4 parts

Lateral ligaments of ankle
3 parts

Structures posterior to medial malleolus/through tarsal tunnel
Tom Dick And Nervous Harry
Tibialis posterior tendon
flexor Digitorum longus
posterior tibial Artery
tibial Nerve
Hallucis longus

Structures posterior to lateral malleolus
Superficial to peroneal retinaculum:
- Sural nerve
- Short saphenous vein
Deep:
- Peroneus longus
Peroneus brevis

Origin and insertion of extensor digitorum brevis
calcaneus to great toe

Innervation of extensor digitorum brevis
Deep fibular nerve
Action of extensor digitorum brevis
Extension of MTP of great toe and toes
Muscles of the sole of the foot
From superficial to deep
4 layers
Most superficial (1st) layer of muscles of sole of the foot
Abductor hallucis
Flexor digitorum brevis
Abductor digiti minimi

Origin and insertion of abductor hallucis
calcaneous to proximal phalanx

Origin and insertion of flexor digitorum brevis
Calcaneus to phalanges of lateral 4 toes

Origin and insertion of abductor digiti minimi
Calcaneus to proximal phalanx of little toe

Innervation of abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis
Medial plantar nerve from tibial nerve
Innervation of abductor digiti minimi
Lateral plantar nerve from tibial nerve
Action of flexor digitorum brevis
Flexes toes at PIP
Second layer of foot muscles
Quadratus plantae
Lumbricals

Origin and insertion of quadratus plantae
Calcaneus to tendon of flexor digitorum longus

Origin and insertion of lumbricals
Tendon of flexor digitorum longus to extensor hoods of toes

Innervation of quadratus plantae
lateral plantar nerve
Innervation of lumbricals
1st- medial plantar nerve of tibial nerve
Rest- lateral plantar nerve of tibial nerve
Action of quadratus plantae
Assists flexor digitorum longus to flex
Action of lumbricals
Flexion of MTP, extension of PIP/DIP
