Module 3: Ankle and Foot Flashcards
dorsiflexion of talus spreads
malleloi
more plantarflexion causes
more instability
what supports the tibia
superior aspect of the talus
3 ligaments of the foot that creates lateral collateral ligament
- ) Anterior Talofibular Ligament
- ) Calcaneofibular
- ) Posterior Talofibular
most injured tendon due to plantar flexion and inverson sprain
anterior talofibular
second most commonly injured ligament
calcaneofibular
talus typically subluxates
anterior with ankle sprain
why is there limited dorsfilexion
jamming of condyle against anterior tibial ridge
80% of ankle sprains are
inversion
what muscles are attached to the talus
none
DDX of subluxated talus
short achilles/tight calf
congenital anomaly
anterior tibial bone spur
patency of dorsal pedal artery
signs indicating an adjustment of the talus
limited dorsiflexion
shallow anterior talar fossa to palpation
what does a plantarflexion inversion sprain/strain create
antero-medial talus
what side is the doctor on for anterior medial talus
opposite side of involvement
anterolateral talus doctor position
on same side of involvement
aka’s for ankle joint
talocrural
ankle
tibiotalar
mortise
what adjustment works well with shin splints
talocrural AP
tarsal tunnel syndrome presentation
burning, sharp pain, or paresthesia in sole of foot
intermittent complaints with standing, walking, running
positive tinel sign
what can cause tarsal tunnel syndrome
repetitive hyperflexion/hyperextension
post traumatic fibrosis from sprain
ganglion
abnormal biomechanics and/or tightening of the flexor retinaculum or arch of abductor hallucis
how many bones in teh foot
26
what is the talus responsible for
medial foot motion during pronation and supination
talus is keystone of
medial longitudinal arch
what is the keystone fo transverse arch
2nd cuneiform
keystone to lateral longitudinal arch
cuboid
