Q

ligaments of inf tf joint (5)

and their purposes

A
  1. crural tibiofibular interosseous ligament
    strong/thick oblique fibers which serve as axis of motion for fib
    gives stability at inf jt, movement at sup jt.
  2. ant (3) posterior tibiofibular ligaments (so strong bone will break before these tear)
    ant- limits post glide
    post- limits ant glide
    b/c these are a little oblique
  3. inferior transverse ligament
  4. interosseous membrane
    holds shafts of bones together

Q

clinical relevance of tib/fib joints
falling
joint health

A
  1. falling on mortice (side of foot) will fracture fib or tear ankle collateral lig before injure tf ligs
  2. prox tf is dependent on distal tf for motion so they both must have adequate mobility because hyaline cartilage nourishment is dependent on movements

55
Q

calcaneocuboid joint
type of joint
degrees of freedom => movements
secondary movements around oblique axis

articular surfaces (2 on each bone) & (arthrokinematics)

closed pack position

A

saddle synovial joint w/ its own capsule
2DOF => gliding and conjoint rotation
1: supination/ pronation
2: because of horizontal/ oblique axis of the transverse tarsal:
longitudinal axis is so horizontal => inversion/eversion
oblique axis => PF w/ aD (DF w/ aB)

articular surfaces:
calcaneus
concave dorsal-> plantar on oblique axis*** => concave movement on convex cuboid
convex M ->L on longitudinal axis

cuboid
*convex dorsal -> plantar
concave M -> L

closed pack = supination

56
Q

calcaneocuboid joint interaction with hindfoot/ subtaler joint
capsules and WB
arthrokinematics

A

even though calcaneocubiod jt has it has its own capsule, it is linked in WB to subtalar joint.

calcaneus and talus move on a fixed cuboid => concave calcaneus moving on convex cuboid

57
Q

midfoot plantar ligaments (3)

and purpose

A

purpose is to support tarsal joints and bony arches

  1. plantar calcaneonavicular = spring ligament
    sustentaculum tali => inf navic (short oblique ligament lat -> med)
  2. short plantar ligament = plantar calcaneocuboid
    supports lateral longitudinal arch
  3. long plantar ligament
    supports lateral longitudinal arch (and transverse tarsal joints calcan => 3rd/4th MT))
58
Q

review of medial and dorsal ligaments that support the hindfoot (4)

A
  1. deltoid ligament (medial)
  2. bifurcate (calcaneus -> cuboid and calcaneus -> navicular) dorsal
  3. dorsal talonavicular
  4. dorsal calcaneocuboid
59
Q

articular motions of transverse tarsal joints
what motion locks and unlocks jts?
what happens in early gait
what happens in late stance

A
  1. transverse tarsal jts are unlocked when foot is everted
  2. early gait the IR of tibia moves foot into eversion => unlocked => able to supinate and allow forefoot to maintain contact with ground
  3. end of stance ER of tibia moves foot into inversion => locked ** so its rigid for push off*
