Plantar foot (Lecture & Muscle Tables) Flashcards
The general term used to describe a group of deformities of the ankles and/ or the feet that are usually present at birth (Congenital)?
Clubfoot
What is the name of the common condition in which the foot does not have the normal arch when standing?
Flat Feet (pes planus)
What makes up the “extensor hoods” (The dorsal digital expansions) ?
The tendons of:- The extensor digitorum longus - The extensor digitorum brevis - The extensor hallucis brevis
What is the name of the deformity defined by hyperextension of the MTP and DIP joints and hyper flexion of the PIP joint?
Hammertoe- Usually found in a single digit with callus on the dorm of the PIP joint
What is the name of the deformity defined by having the PIP and DIP joints flexed?
Claw toe - commonly present in multiple digits
What is the name for the most common foot deformity defined by medial deviation of the first metatarsal and lateral deviation of the great toe?
Hallux Valgus (Bunions)
What artery and nerve enter the tarsal tunnel?
The Posterior Tibial Artery and Tibial Nerve
What encloses the tarsal tunnel?
The flexor retinaculum
Where does the Posterior Tibial Artery bifurcate? and What does it bifurcate into?
- Bifurcation occur in the tarsal tunnel2. The Posterior tibial artery splits into the Lateral and Medial Plantar Arteries- The tibial nerve also follows this pattern (Splits into the Medial and Lateral Plantar Nerves)
The Deep Plantar Arch arises from what artery?
The lateral Plantar Artery
What is the name of the condition characterized by an enlarged common plantar nerve? And what causes this?
- Morton’s Neuroma2. As the patient enters the “push off” phase of walking the interdigital nerve is sandwhiched between the ground and the transverse metatarsal ligament which compresses the common plantar nerve.
Origin and insertion of the Abductor Hallucis?
Origin: CalcaneusInsertion: Base of the proximal phalanx of the 1st digit
What innervates the Abductor Hallucis, and What are its action?
Innervation: Medial Plantar N. Action: Abduction of the great toe
Origin of the Flexor Digitorum Brevis?
Calcaneus and Plantar Aponeurosis
Insertion of the Flexor Digitorum Brevis?
Middle Phalanx of Digits 2-5
Innervation of the Flexor Digitorum Brevis?
Medial Plantar N.
Action of the Flexor Digitorum Brevis?
Flexion of Digits 2-5
Origin of the Abductor Digiti Minimi?
Calcaneus
Insertion of the Abductor Digiti Minimi?
Base of the proximal phalanx of digit 5
Innervation of the Abductor Digiti Minimi?
Lateral Plantar N.
