Plantar foot Flashcards
What are the layers of the plantar aponeurosis
superficial and deep
what does the deep layer of plantar aponeurosis form
superficial transverse metatarsal ligament
what are the transverse fasciculi
transverse oriented deep fascia which reinforce webs of toes
what are the fibrous digital sheaths
specialized deep fascia anchored in phalanges, prevent bow stringing of tendons
what lines the fibrous digital sheaths
synovial digital sheaths
what are the intermuscular septae in plantar foot and what compartments do they delineate
lateral and medial into lateral and medial compartments
What is in the medial compartment of the plantar foot
great toe, contains flexor and ABductor for hallucis, tendon of flexor hallucis longs and medial plantar vessels and nn
what is in the lateral compartment of the plantar foot
5th toe, ABductor and a flexor m of digiti minimi
What is in the central compartment of plantar foot
flexor digitorum brevis, lumbricals, quadratus plantae, ADductor hallucis mm, tendons of flexor digitorum longus and lateral plantar vessels and n
What defines the interosseous compartment
between layers of plantar and dorsal interosseous fascia- with interosseous mm
How many mm are in each of 4 layers of foot
3-2-3-2
Where is the plane of reference for ABduction and ADduction of toes
down second toe
What mm are in the 1st layer of plantar foot
ABductor hallucis, ABductor digiti minimi and flexor digitorum brevis
origin and insertion of ABductor hallucis
origin: calcaneus
insertion: medial side of base of proximal phalanx of great toe
what is the action of ABductor hallucis
ABducts great toe
inn of ABductor hallucis
medial plantar n
origin and insertion of Abductor digiti minimi
origin: calcaneus
insertion: lateral side of base of proximal phalanx of fifth digit
action of ABductor digiti minimi
abducts 5th digit
what inn ABductor digit minimi
lateral plantar n
origin and insertion of flexor digitorum brevis
origin: calcaneus
insertion: middle phalanges of toes 2-5
what is the action of flexor digitorum brevis
flexes middle and proximal phalanges 2-5
what inn flexor digitorum brevis
medial plantar n
what is unique about tendons of flexor digitorum brevis
bifurcate to allow passage of tendons for flexor digitorum longus
what splits at the proximal portion of ABdcutor hallucis
the posterior tibial a and tibial n
What mm are in the third layer of the plantar foot
quadratus plantae and lumbricals
What tendons pass through 2nd layer of plantar foot
flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus
origin and insertion of quadratus plantae
origin: calcaneus
insertion: tendon of flexor digitorum longus
