Lower Leg, Ankle, Foot Lecture Flashcards
Hindfoot
Inferior tib fib
Talocrural
Subtalar (talocalcaneal)
Midfoot
Talocalcaneonavicular Cuneonavicular Cuboideonavicular Intercuneiform Cuneocuboid Calcaneocuboid
Forefoot
Tarsometatarsal
Intermetatarsal
Metatarsophalangeal
Interphalangeal
Inferior tib fib
(Hindfoot)
Fibrous syndesmoses
1-2 mm spread w/ DF - superior glide of fibula
Tibfib resting
Plantar flexion
Tibfib closed pack
Max DF
Tibiofibular capsular pattern
Pain on stress
Talocrural joint
Uniaxial, modified hinge, synovial
Med and lat malleolus w/ talus
Med doesn’t extend as far down
Branches of tibial and deep fibular nerves
The talus is wider
Anteriorly
Ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flex ROM
DF 20
PF 50
Talocrural open pack
10 deg PF
Midway b/n max inversion and eversion
Talocrural closed pack
Full DF
Talocrural capsular pattern
PF, DF
Talocrural - deltoid / medial collateral ligament
Tibionavicular
Tibiocalcaneal
Posterior tibiotalar
Anterior tibiotalar
Talocrural lateral ligaments
ATFL
Posterior talofibular lig
Calcaneofibular lig
Subtalar joint
3 seperate planar articulation Triplanes motion around a single axis Important for dampening rotational forces imposed by BW Gliding and rotation are main motions May become hypomobile after injury No muscles attach to the talus
Subtalar joint axis
42 deg upward and anteriorly from transverse plane
Medically included 16 deg
Results in triplanar motion around 1 axis
Subtalar primary motions
Supination and pronation - composite motions in three planes that cannot and do not occur independently
