Q3: 1st Ray Insufficiency, Pes Planovalgus, Peroneal Nerve Palsy Flashcards
What is a “Morton’s Toe”
1st Ray Insufficiency
shortened 1st ray which can lead to hypermobility
Etiology
1st Ray Insufficiency
- Shortened 1st Ray
- Compensated deformities
- Ligament Laxity
- PTTD
- Arthritis
Clinical Significance
1st Ray Insufficiency
More weight through other joints; no rigid lever for push off
Clinical Presentation
1st Ray Insufficiency
- Callus under 2nd Met. head
- hypermobile 1st ray
Complications
1st Ray Insufficiency
- stress fx
- hallux valgus
- plantar plate injury
- ulceration
- arthritis
- Plantar Faciitis
- metatarsalgia
- pes planus
Diagnostic Techniques
1st Ray Insufficiency
Considered hypermobile if range > 8 degrees
Dynamic Hicks Test
Modified Klaue Diagnostic Device
1st Ray Insufficiency
Immobilizes all foot/ankle except great toe; be sure to look at first ray
Non-Ox Intervention
1st Ray Insufficiency
Sx to stabalize first ray; distribute force
Ox Intervention
1st Ray Insufficiency
- Morton’s Ext.
- FO (midfoot stability)
- UCBL
Etiology - Pediatrics
Pes Planovalgus
- Toddlers - pronate to learn to walk
- 6 years - develope long. arch
- Influences:
1. shoes
2. weight
3. boys
4. tight achilles
Etiology - Adults
Pes Planovalgus
- Adult Aquired Flatfoot Deformity
- Influences:
1. Int. Rotation (tibia)
2. diabetes
3. paralysis
4. obesity
5. fx (navicular, 1st met, calc.)
6. trauma (PF, spring lig., PTT)
7. Charcot
Etiology - Congenital
Pes Planovalgus
Tarsal Coalition; abnormal connection of 2+ bones
Present at birth but symptoms show later
Result: Rigid Flatfoot
Clinical Significance
Pes Planovalgus
No foot locking (supination) = no rigid lever for propulsion; PTTD
Clinical Presentation
Pes Planovalgus
- Collapsed Med. Long. Arch
- Hindfoot Valgus
- Forefoot Abduction
Too many toes test (should see 2 toes)
Complications
Pes Planovalgus
- Arthritis
- medial ligament sprain
- bunion
- medial ankle pain
- Sinus tarsi pain
- shortened gastroc
- Up the chain pronation (knee valgus/int. rotation and hip adducted/int. rotation)
