Q from lecture about ANKLE Flashcards

1
Q

What are the bone ends - articular surfaces`

A

Fib: lat malleolus,

Tib: Distal surface + med malleolus

Talus: trochlea (pulley shape). Big articular surface, need big contact area to spread out load

Q

What is the name of the MCL?

A

Called DELTOID

  1. Ant tibiotalus
  2. post tibiotalus
  3. Tibionavicular
  4. Tibiocalcaneous

=> Limits excessive EVERSION

Q

Which is the strongest lig? How are they helping to stabilise?

A

MCL strongest.

Span both ankle AND talocancaneal jt, thereby stabilising both jts. :)

Q

What is the axis of the ankle jt?

A

OBLIQUE axis -> through lat malleolus, body of talus, through or just below med malleolus

Fib mall extends more distally than med!

Q

What are the factors that promote stability?

A

Bone ends:

-> Intergrity of inf tibiofibular jt essential for stability of ankle. Keeps lat malle in contact with lat surface of talus

ligs

Muscles

jt capsule

Midfoot

rarefoot

A

Rarefoot:

  • Calcaneous, talus,

MIdfoot:

  • navicular, cuboid, x3 cuneiform

Q

What are the carachteristics of bone ends of subtalar (post talocalcaneal jt)?

A

Sulcus tali = on talus

Calcaneus sulcus

=> Together make the SINUS TARSI from LAT view.

Q

What is the ligs at subtalar jt?

A
  1. Post talocalcaneal lig
  2. lat talocalcaneal lig
  3. med talocalcaneal lig

=> T-C lig :-)

  1. Cervical lig
  2. Interosseous talocalcaneal lig

=> PROVIDE STRONG BOND BETWEEN CALC + TALUS

Q

What is the ligaments at the talocalcaneonavicular jt?

A

1 Spring lig = Plantar calcaneonavicular lig

2 Dorsi talo_navicular_ lig

3 Calcaneonavicular lig

17
Q

What is the lig at calcaneocuboid jt?

A

Bifurcate lig:

  1. Calcaneonavicular lig
  2. calcaneocuboid lig

PLANTAR:

  1. long plantar lig
  2. short plantar lig (under long)
18
Q

What is the movement at trasverse tarsal jt?

A
  • rarely functions alone
  • movement in conjuction with subtalar
  • movement at TT makes midfoot very ADAPTABLE in shape of uneven surfaces
  • ROM difficult to isolate from associated jts
19
Q

Pronation of foot has varying elements of:

A

eversion, abduction, dorsiflexion (same as supination)

  • take place in foot and ankle, mostly subtalar and TT
  • makes foot more FLEXIBLE!
  • during WB, help lower limb to accomodate to gorund by enchancing its flexibility and shock absorbing quality
20
Q

Supination:

A

eversion, abduction, dorsiflexion

  • make foot more RIGID
  • helps STABILISE IN STANCE as body moves over foot
21
Q

Whats the function of toes?

A
  • smooth weight shift to opposite foot in gait
  • aid STABILITY by pressing against ground in standing
22
Q

Which bones make up medial longitudinal arch?

A

Med longitudinal:

calcaneous, talus, navicular, cuneiform, 1-3 MT

23
Q

Which bones make up lateral longitudinal arch?

A

Calcaneous?, cuboid, 4-5 MT

24
Q

Which bones make up transverse arch?

A

Cuboid, cuneiform, 1-5 MT

25
Q

Whats the 4 factors that help to maintain the arches of foot?

A
  1. Make bones wegde shaped (tarsals + MT) -> Keystone to occupy centre of arch (= Talus)
  2. Tying together inf egdes of bones (lig and m) - counteracts tendency of closely bones to seperate when WB -> eg: shprt and long plantar lig, TP
  3. Tie beam spans the arch prevent separation and sagging (ligs and m). eg. plantar aponerosis, FHL
  4. Supports suspend the arch from above (lig and m)
    eg: TA, TP, FL, FB => SUSPENSION BRIGDE
