33
Q

Why are tibial shaft fractures common?

A
  1. tibia lies just beneath the skin along the medial border of the leg
  2. tibial shaft fractures often are open injuries (in which the skin is perforated)
34
Q

  • also includes a saddle joint between the femur and patella
35
Q

What type of movement does the knee allow?

A
  • flexion and extension
  • When flexed, it also participates in some gliding and rotation movements
  • When the knee extends fully, the femur rotates slightly and medially on the tibia, pulling each of the ligaments taut and stabilizing the joint
36
Q

What are intracapsular ligaments?

A
  1. medial and lateral menisci
  2. cruciate ligaments
  3. transverse ligament
37
Q

What does transverse ligament do?

binds and stabilizes the menisci

38
Q

from genicular branches of the popliteal artery

39
Q

Which curate ligament is torn more often and why?

A
  • Anterior

- Posterior shorter and stronger

40
Q

What is the knee surrounded by?

A

thin, fibrous capsule that is stabilized by the surrounding muscle attachments and intracapsular and extracapsular ligaments

41
Q

What are the extra capsular ligaments?

A
  1. medial and lateral collateral ligaments
  2. patellar ligament
  3. arcuate and oblique popliteal ligaments
42
Q

What does the anterior cruciate ligament do?

A
  • weaker
  • taut when knee fully extended preventing hyperextension
  • usually torn in hyperextension with the tibia medially (internally) rotated
43
Q

When does the posterior circulate tighten the most?

A
  • during flexion of the knee
  • preventing excessive anterior displacement of the femur on the tibia
  • or excessive posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur
44
Q

What do both of the curate ligaments do?

A

maintain some level of tautness during movements of the knee

45
Q

What does the tibial collateral ligament limit?

A

extension and abduction of the leg and is attached to the medial meniscus

46
Q

What does fibular collateral ligament limit?

A

extension and adduction of the leg

47
Q

What could rupture of the tibial collateral ligament lead to?

A
  • May tear medial meniscus as attached to medial meniscus

- Medial meniscus is later than lateral meniscus

48
Q

What is rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament associated with?

A
  • common athletic injury

- with a sharp turn when the knee is twisted medially while in extension and the foot is firmly on the groun

49
Q

What does the anterior drawer test do?

A
  • test assesses this injury
  • If the anterior cruciate ligament has been injured, the tibia will move anteriorly more than 5 mm, indicating a positive test result
50
Q

Which of the 7 tarsal bone articulates with the leg bones?

A

Talus

51
Q

What do the five metatarsal bone articulate proximally with?

A

tarsals

52
Q

What do the five metatarsal bone articulate distally with?

A

phalanges

53
Q

How many phalanges does the big toe have?

A

2

54
Q

What does the trochlea of the talus (ankle bone) articulate with?

A

tibia and fibula

55
Q

What does the head of the talus articulate with?

A

navicular bone

56
Q

What does the calcaneus (heel bone) articulate with?

A

talus, superiorly and cuboid anteriorly

57
Q

What is the most common fractured tarsal bone?

A

calcaneus

58
Q

How do most calcaneus fractures happen?

A
  • forceful landing on a heel, in which the talus is driven down into the calcaneus
  • bone density of the calcaneus is less than that of the talus, which also contributes to its being fractured more often
59
Q

What type of joint is the ankle (talocrural) joint?

A

hinge-type uniaxial synovial joint between tibia and fibula and trohclea of talus

60
Q

What movement does the ankle joint allow?

A
  1. Dorsifelxion (extension)

2. Plantarfelxion

61
Q

What is the thin fibrous capsule of the ankle joint reinforced by?

A
  • medial (deltoid) ligament: 4 parts

- lateral collateral ligament: 3 parts

62
Q

What is the talocalcaneal (subtalar) joint?

A

plane synovial joint between the talus and calcaneus

63
Q

What does the talocalcaneal (subtalar) joint allow?

A

inversion and eversion of foot

64
Q

What is the talocalcaneonavicular joint?

A
  • partial ball-and-socket synovial joint
  • between the head of the talus and the calcaneus and navicular bones (along with the calcaneocuboid joint, it forms the transverse tarsal joint)
65
Q

What does the talocalcaneonavicular joint allow and supported by?

A
  • supported by the spring ligament

- important in gliding and rotational movements of the foot

66
Q

Which collateral ligament is often sprained?

A

lateral collateral ligament (weak)

67
Q

Why does the lateral collateral ligament get sprained?

A
  1. resists inversion of the foot 2. One or more of its parts may tear in the common inversion ankle injury
  2. when this happens, the ligaments usually tear from anterior to posterior, with the anterior talofibular ligament being torn first
68
Q

What is the medial (deltoid) ligament do?

A
  1. limits eversion of the foot 2. helps maintain the medial long arch of the foot
69
Q

What does the plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament provide?

A

strong plantar support for the head of the talus (which maintains the arch of the foot)

70
Q

What is the twisting like in most ankle injuries? What does it cause?

A
  • talus rotates in a frontal plane and impinges on either the lateral or medial malleolus
  • fracture of malleolus and places tension on supporting ligaments of the opposite side
71
Q

What type of joints are the tarsometatarsal joints?

A

plane synovial joints

72
Q

What do tarsometatarsal joints consist of? What are the strengthened by?

A
  • articular capsules

- strengthened by plantar, dorsal, and interosseous ligaments

73
Q

What does the tarsometatarsal joints permit?

A

gliding and sliding movements

74
Q

What type of joints are metatarsophalangeal joints?

A

multiaxial condyloid synovial joints

75
Q

What are metatarsophalangeal joints surrounded by and strengthened by?

A
  • surrounded by articular capsules
  • strengthened by plantar and collateral ligament
  • plantar (plate) ligaments are part of the weight-bearing surface of the foot
76
Q

What does the metatarsopahalngeal joints allow?

A
  1. flexion
  2. extension
  3. some abduction
  4. some adduction
  5. some circumduction
77
Q

Why type of joints are interphalangeal joints?

A

uniaxial hinge-type (ginglymus) synovial joints

78
Q

What are interpahalngeal joints enclosed by and strengthen by?

A
  • enclosed by capsules

- strengthened by plantar and collateral ligaments

79
Q

What do interphalangeal joints allow?

A
  1. flexion

2. extension

80
Q

What does direct trauma to the foot result in?

A

fracture of the metatarsals and phalanges

81
Q

How are these fractures usually treated?

A

immobilization because the extensive ligament attachments that stabilize these joints prevent the fragments from becoming displaced
