Q

What is the sensory function of the tibial nerve

A

Cutaneous branches of the tibial nerve combine with branches from the common fibular nerve to form the sural nerve. This sensory nerve innervates the skin of the posterolateral side of the leg and the lateral side of the foot.

The tibial nerve also supplies all the sole of the foot via three branches:

Medial calcaneal branches: These arise within the tarsal tunnel, and innervate the skin over the heel.

Medial plantar nerve: Innervates the plantar surface of the medial three and a half digits, and the associated sole area.

Lateral plantar nerve: Innervates the plantar surface of the lateral one and a half digits, and the associated sole area.

Q

What is the motor and sensory function of the common fibular nerve

A

Motor: Innervates the short head of the biceps femoris directly. Also supplies (via branches) the muscles in the lateral and anterior compartments of the leg.

Sensory: Innervates the skin of the lateral leg and the dorsum of the foot.

Q

Explain the clinical relevance of damage to the common fibular nerve

A

common fibular nerve wraps around the neck of the femur and so fractures of the fibular neck can cause nerve palsy

this can result in foot drop- loose the ability to dorsiflex the foot at the ankle

loss of sensation over the dorsum of the foot, and lateral sideof the leg. Innervation is preserved on the medial side of the leg (supplied by the saphenous nerve, a branch of the femoral), and the heel and sole (supplied by the tibial nerve, a branch of the sciatic)

25
Q

Fill in the blanks

A

Deltoid ligament = medial ligament

26
Q

What is the deltoid ligament and the lateral ligament?

A

Medial ligament: consists of four ligaments, which fan out from the malleolus, attaching to the talus, calcaneus and navicular bones.

Primary action = resist over-eversion of the foot.

Lateral ligament

Resists over-inversion of the foot, and is comprised of three distinct and separate ligaments:

Anterior talofibular – spans between the lateral malleolus and lateral aspect of the talus.

Posterior talofibular – spans between the lateral malleolus and the posterior aspect of the talus.

Calcaneofibular – spans between the lateral malleolus and the calcaneus.

Q

What is the deep fascia of the foot known as

A

Plantar/investing fascia

it forms the plantar appaneurosis

36
Q

What is Plantar fasciitis

A

Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the plantar aponeurosis is strained and inflamed. This may result from running and high impact aerobics, especially when an inappropriate foot-wear is worn. It causes severe pain in the plantar surface of the heel and on the medial aspect of the foot.

38
Q

Movements of the different joints of the ankle

A

Mortise jiont: plantar and dorsiflexion

Subtalar joint: inversion & eversion

39
Q

Describe the type and the function of the talonavicular and the talocalcanel joint

A

The talonavicular joint (1), is a ball and socket joint which allows the foot to pivot from side to side.

The talocalcaneal joint (2), (plane synovial joint) helps this process allowing for some lateral sliding movement

40
Q

A
41
Q

Describe pes cavus

A

Unusually high medial longitudinal arch. It can appear in early life and become symptomatic with increasing age.

Due to the higher arch, the ability to shock absorb during walking is diminished and an increased degree of stress is placed on the ball and heel of the foot.

Pain in the foot, which can radiate to the ankle, leg, thigh and hip. This pain is transmitted up the lower limb from the foot due to the unusually high stress placed on the hindfoot during the heel strike of the gait cycle.

Causes of pes cavus can be idiopathic, hereditary, due to an underlying congenital foot problem such as club foot, or secondary to neuromuscular damage such as in poliomyelitis.

42
Q

Describe Pes planus

A

Flat feet

can be acquired due to dysfunction of tibialis posterior

plantar calcaneonavixular ligament fails to support the head of the talus. consequently, talar head displaces inferiomedially, resulting in flattening of medial longitudnal arch

43
Q

What are the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve which innervates the intrinsic muscles of the foot?

Which are the two terminal branches of the posterior tibial artery which supply the foot region?

A

The medial and lateral plantar nerve

The medial and lateral plantar aretery

44
Q

A
45
Q

function of the first vs second layer of the foot

A

First layer flexes the toes, initiating the first part of the gait cycle

Layer two, we find the terminal branches of the tibial artery and nerve, with the muscles which flex the toes

3- deep intrinsic muscles

4- interossei muscles

46
Q

Where does the tendon of the popliteus muscle pass deep to

A

The lateral collateral ligament, separating it from the lateral meniscus

47
Q

Function of the anterior vs posterior crusciate ligament

A

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) prevents the femur from sliding posterior on the tibia.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prevents the femur from sliding anterior on the tibia.

48
Q

What does lateral impact to the knee joint risk damaging

A

Risks both damaging the medial meniscus and disrupting both the ACL and medial collateral ligaments.

If the cartilage becomes loose within joint space, there is a risk that the knee can become ‘locked in fixed flexion or extension

Unhappy triad= anterior cruciate ligament tear, medial collateral ligament injury and the medial meniscus

49
Q

What knee bursea communicates with the joint cavity and what is the clinical significance of this?

A

Supra-patellar bursae- suprapattelar bursitis can spread to the knee joint

50
Q

What normally causes meniscal tears

A

Any lateral impact to the knee joint risks both damaging the medial meniscus and disrupting both the ACL and medial collateral ligaments.

If the cartilage becomes loose within joint space, there is a risk that the knee can become ‘locked in fixed flexion or extension
