Quiz 2 Review Flashcards
Tibia
-Shin bone
-Primary weight bearing bone of the leg (recall ‘leg’)
Fibula
-Carries ~1/6th body weight (previously thought to be non-weight bearing)
Fibula (Anterior View)
-Apex
-Head
-Neck
-Shaft
-Interosseous border
-lateral malleolus
Lateral Malleolus
Lateral projection of your ankle
Tibia (Anterior View)
- Lateral Condyle
-Intercondylar Eminence
-Medial Condyle
-Medial and lateral condyles articulate with the femoral condyles
-Shaft
-Interosseous border
-Medial Malleolus
Gerdy’s Tubricle (Lateral Tibial Tubercle)
Large prominence lateral and superior to the tibial tuberosity
Tibia (Posterior View)
-Lateral Condyle
-Intercondylar Eminence
-Medial Condyle
-Shaft
-Interosseous Border (lateral border)
-Medial Malleolus
-Soleal Line
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint
Head of fibula articulates with the lateral condyle of the tibia
-Flat oval/circular facet on the fibular head which articulates with a similar facet on the tibia
-Synovial
-Plane
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Movements (Dorsiflexion)
Limited superior and posterior glide
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Movements (Plantar Flexion)
Limited inferior and anterior glide
Distal Tibiofibular Joint
-Distal end of fibula articulates with the distal end of the tibia
-Fibrous
Interosseous Membrane
Strong connective tissue between the tibia and the fibula which thickens at the distal end
Talocrural Joint
-Distal end of the tibia and fibula articulate with the trochlea (body) of the talus
-Synovial
-Hinge
Talocrural Joint Movements
Only dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Deltoid Ligament
Four Ligaments (anterior tibiotalar, tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal, posterior tibiotalar)
-Checks: Eversion of the ankle
-Very strong ligament and focused attachment point on the medial malleolus can lead to an avulsion fracture
Anterior Fibres of the Deltoid Ligament
Eversion with Plantar Flexion
Posterior Fibres of the Deltoid Ligament
Eversion with Dorsiflexion
Vertical Fibres
Eversion in Neutral
ATFL Movement
Inversion with Plantar Flexion
Calcaneofibular of the Deltoid Ligament Action
Inversion in Neutral
Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL)
-Checks/Restricts: Inversion
-Palpated through sinus tarsi
-Most commonly injured ligament in the foot
Calcaneofibular Ligament
Checks: Inversion
Subcutaneous Calcaneal
Between the achilles tendon and the overlying skin
Subtendinous Calcaneal
Between the achilles tendon and the calcaneus
Subtalar Joint
-Inferior aspect of the talus articulates with the superior calcaneus
-Synovial
-Plane
Subtalar Joint Movements
-Inversion
-Eversion
Talocalcaneonavicular Joint
-Articulation between talus calcaneus and navicular joint
-synovial
-ball and socket
-helps increase inversion/eversion range
Calcaneofibular Ligament
Attaches: Lateral Malleolus - Lateral Calcaneus
Checks: Inversion
Subcutaneous Calcaneal
Between Achilles Tendon and the overlying skin
Subtendinous
Between Achilles Tendon and the Calcaneus
Subtalar Joint
Inferior aspect Talus articulates with superior Calcaneus
-Synovial
-Plane
Movements: Inversion - Eversion
Talocalcaneonavicular Joint
Articulation between: Talus, Calcaneus, Navicular
-Synovial
-Ball and Socket
-Increase inversion/eversion range
Plantar Calcaneonavicular (Spring Ligament)
-Helps maintain medial longitudinal arch by supporting head of talus
-If ligament is stretched, head of Talus can sink resulting in Pes Planus (flat foot)
Flat Foot
Pes Planus
High Arch
Pes Cavus
Calcaneocuboid Joint
-Articulation between Calcaneus and Cuboid
-Synovial
-Plane
Long Plantar Ligament
-Helps maintain arches in foot
Transverse Tarsal joint (Midtarsal Joint)
Movements: Inversion, Eversion
-Helps increase inversion/eversion range by allowing abduction and adduction of the forefoot
Talocalcaneonavicular Joint & Calcaneocuboid Joint are sometimes referred to as
Midtarsal joint
Intertarsal, Tarsometatarsal & Intermetatarsal Joints
-Synovial
-Plane
-Little movement at 2nd tarsometatarsal joint
Movements:
-Limited due to tight binding by the ligaments
-Bases of the 2nd through 5th metatarsals are firmly bound by ligaments
The Metatarsophalangeal Joints
-Head of metatarsals articulate with the bases of the proximal phlalanges
-Synovial
-Condyloid
Movements: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
Supporting Ligaments:
-Collateral ligaments on either side of the joints
-Plantar surface of joint capsules are thickened to form the plantar plates
Interphalangeal Joints
-Head of phalanx articulates with the base of the phalanx distal to it
-Synovial
-Hinge
Movements: flexion, extension
Supporting Ligaments: Collateral ligaments
Arches of the foot
-Bones of the foot form arches which act as shock absorbers
What are the arches of the foot?
- Medial longitudinal arch
- Lateral longitudinal arch
- Transverse arch
Arches are maintained by
- Shape of the interlocking bones
- Ligaments
- Fascia
- Action of the muscles
Medial Longitudinal Arch
Bones: Calcaneus, talus, navicular, 3 cuniforms, metatarsals 1-3
-Arch does not normally come in contact with the ground
-More involved in propulsion than weight bearing
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Bones: Calcaneus, cuboid, metatarsals 4,5
-More invoved in weight bearing than propulsion
Transverse Arch
-Involves whole length of foot
Anterior Portion: Head of 1st MT to head of 5thMT
Middle Portion: Cuneiform #1 to Cuboid
Posterior Portion: Navicular to Cuboid
