KNOW THE DERMATOMES OF THE LOWER LEG
slide 2
How many compartments are in the lower leg?
3; anterior, lateral, and posterior
What innervates the anterior compartment?
deep peroneal nerve
What is the path of the anterior tibial artery?
comes off the popliteal artery, passes thru the interosseous membrane, runs btwn the TA and EDL, branches into the anterior tibial recurrent artery and medial and lateral malleolar artery, and continues to the foot where it turns into the dorsalis pedis artery
What can be found in the anterior compartment?
anterior tibial artery
What is the lateral compartment innervated by?
superficial peroneal nerve
Where does the lateral compartment get its blood supply?
peroneal artery which comes off the posterior tibial artery
What branches off the peroneal artery?
posterior lateral malleolar artery
What innervates the posterior leg compartment?
tibial nerve
Where does the tibial nerve lie in the posterior leg compartment?
btwn the TP and FDL
what is the path of the tibial artery?
runs btwn the TP and FDL, then btwn the FDL and FHL tendons, turns into M and L plantar artery in the foot
What structures pass thru the flexor retnaculum?
Tom, Dick, ANd Harry, tibialis posterior tendon, tendon of flexor digitorum longus, posterior tibial artery, tibial nerve, tendon of flexor hallucis longus
What structures pass thru the extensor retnaculum?
tendon of anterior tibialis, tendon of extensor hallucis longus, dorsalis pedis artery, deep peroneal (fibular) nerve, tendon of extensor digitorum longus, anterior lateral malleolar artery
What structures pass thru the posterior retnaculum?
peroneus longus tendon and peroneus brevis tendon
when the tibial nerve reaches the foot, what does it split into?
medial and lateral planter nerve
Where does the flexor hallucis longus tendon lie?
on the calcaneus
where does the Peroneus longus tendon lie?
on the cuboid
Where is the sustentaculum tali?
on the calcaneus
What muscle sits on the medial and lateral sesamoid bones?
flexor hallucis brevis
What position of the foot gives the most stability?
slightly dorsally flexed
