Plantar surface of the foot Flashcards
what bones make up the hindfoot
talus and calcaneus
what is the name of the broad medial projection of the calcaneus on which the talus rests
sustentaculum tali
what bones make up the midfoot
navicular, cuboid and 3 cuneiforms (medial, intermediate and lateral)
what shape are the cuneiforms
wedge shaped - smaller inferiorly
there is an indentation on the inferior surface of the cuboid for what
accommodates peroneus longus tendon as it crosses sole of foot to attach to medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal
what bones are in the forefoot
metatarsals and phalanges
there are 2 sesamoid bones within a tendon of the foot near the head of the first metatarsal, which tendon is it
flexor hallucis brevis tendon (2 tendons, one each side)
how many tarsal bones are there in the foot
7
how many metatarsals are there in the foot
5
how many phalanges are in the foot
14
describe the deep fascia of the plantar surface of the foot
thick central portion (plantar aponeurosis) and weaker medially and laterally
what is the plantar aponeurosis
superficial ligament formed by the central portion of the deep fascia
what is the proximal attachment of the plantar aponeurosis
calcaneus
what is the distal attachment of the plantar aponeurosis
divides into 5 bands distally which are continuous with the fibrous digital sheaths
how are the muscles of the plantar surface of the foot divided into 3 compartments
from the edges of the plantar aponeurosis you get vertical intermuscular septae which divide into compartments
what are the 5 compartments of the foot
lateral central and medial compartment (plantar surface)
interossei
muscles of dorsum of foot
what are the muscles of the dorsum of the foot
extensor digitorum brevis
extensor hallucis brevis
what are the muscles of the lateral compartment of the foot
muscles of the little toe - abductor digiti minimi
flexor digiti minimi brevis
what are the muscles of the medial compartment of the foot
muscles of the great toe
- abductor hallucis
- flexor hallucis brevis
where are the dorsal and plantar interossei found
between the metatarsals
what are the muscles of the central compartment of the foot
flexor digitorum brevis muscles associated with the tendon of FDL( lumbricals and quadratus plantae) adductor hallucis (deeper)
what muscles are associated with the tendon of FDL
lumbricals and quadratus plantae
the foot is more commonly divided into what
layers 1 2 3 4
what are the muscles of layer 1 of the foot
abductor hallucis
flexor digitorum brevis
abductor digiti minimi
layer 1 of the foot has muscles from what layers
all 3 layers
abductor hallucis - medial
flexor digitorum brevis - central
abductor digiti minimi - lateral
what are the attachments of abductor hallucis
medial tubercle of calcaneus and flexor retinaculum to the medial base of the proximal phalanx
what are the attachments of flexor digitorum brevis
medial tubercle of calcaneus to the middle phalanges of lateral 4 toes
what are the attachments of abductor digiti minimi
medial and lateral tubercle of calcaneus to the lateral base of the proximal phalanx
what muscle is directly deep to the plantar aponeurosis and can sometimes adhere strongly to it
flexor digitorum brevis
muscles of layer 2 of the foot are associated with what compartment
central
what tendons are present in layer 2 of the foot
long flexor tendons - Flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus
what muscles are present in layer 2 of the foot
lumbricals
quadratus plantae
where do the lumbricals arise from and attach
medial side of each tendon of FDL (4) to medial side of the dorsal tendon expansion
what is the function of the lumbricals
flex the MTP joint and extend the IP joint of the toe they are associated with
what are the attachments of quadratus plantae
medial and lateral surfaces of calcaneus to the lateral side of the FDL tendon
