the ankle and foot Flashcards
Pliability
pliability is allowing the foot to adjust to uneven terrain
rigidity
propulsion/toe off
ankle is made up of
talocrual (ankle mortise)- tibiofibulotalar joint
foot
all tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
rear foot (hind foot) is made up of
calcaneus and talus
Midfoot is made up of
cuneiform, cuboid and navicular
Choparts joint or transverse tarsal joint is made of
talonavicular and calcaeocuboid joint
forefoot is made up of
metatarsals and
phalnagnes and TMT
lisfranc
tarsometatarsals
anterior =
toes (dorm as well)
posterior =
heel (rear or plantar surface)
distal =
toes
dorsal =
extensor side
plantar
flexor side
purpose of fiublar
takes up 10% of wt bearing
tibia takes how many percent of wt bearing
90
tibia formes dover over talus for?
stability
fibula and tibia makes up the?
ankle mortise
what is torsion
changes medial lateral axis - makes movement of ankle complex
talus trcholear surface- convex moves ____ to ____ and concave move _____ to ______
convex - anterior to posterior
concave - medial to lateral
true or false: if talus has a wider anterior than posterior (df widens the mortise) - you can result in high ankle sprain if forced?
true
calcaneous tuberosity is the attachment site for
achilles
calcaneus medial tubercle is important for
location for tenderness for plantar fasciitis
talar and calcaneal sulci match up to form the
sinus tarsi
the main articulation with talus and is convex
posterior facet
talar facet of calcaneus is ___
concave
3 tarsals articulate with cuboid
calcaneus, navicular, and lateral cuneiform
tarsometatarsal joint
articulate with two metatarsals (lateral)
- other 3 Mts only articulate with one tarsal (cuneiform)
transverse tarsal joint
articulates with calcaneus
pathology of cuboid syndrome
lateral foot pain common in runners and dancers
planar joint for cuboid
convex
cuneiform in latin is
wedge
cuneiform helps form
transverse arch of the foot
cuneiform articulate with the navicular in the ____
midfoot
the rays is composed of
cuneiform
MT’s
phalanges
they rays - all the way down the proximal surface is ____ and distal surface is _____
convex
concave
2nd ray is the longest and wedges further proximally making it what
most stable and which makes it a good base for the intrinsic muscles
concavity of the plantar Mts allows for
weight bearing
which ray is most most mobile
first ray
which ray extends deeper and more stable
2nd ray
purpose of sesamoid?
increase moment arm for flexor hallicis brevis
fundamental - motion of ankle in sagittal plane
DF and PF at talocural
fundamental - motion of ankle in frontal plane
Inversion and Eversion at subtalar
fundamental - motion of ankle in transverse plane
abd/add at tarsal metatarsal
pronation of the ankle happens in what motions
dorsiflexion, abduction and eversion
supination of the ankle happens in what motion
plantar flexion, adduction, and inversion
proximal of foot is
ankle and heel
motions at tibiofibular joints
mediolateral translaiton and longitudinal (axial) rotation
fibula moves into external rotation with
Dorsiflexion
fibular moves ito internal rotation with
plantar flexion
important ligaments of the ankle
interosseous ligament, anterior/posterior tibiofibular ligament
which ligaments provide stability for mortise
anterior and posterior tibiofibular ligs
ankle ligaments - lateral collateral
anterior talofibular
calcaneofibular
posterior talofibular
- attaches fibula to talus and calcaneus
most commonly injured ligament in lateral collateral of the ankle
anteriorior talofibular and next calcaneofibular
general purposes of laterals
inversion and eversion limitations and anterior/posterior glides of talus on tib/fib or vice versa
deltoid ligaments
tibonavicular ligament
tibiocalcaneal ligament
tibotalar
attaches tibia to navicular, calcaneus and talus
true or false: deltoid ligaments are thicker and stronger than lateral, so requires more force to ruptures
true
spring ligament
plantar calcaneonavicular ligament - from sustentaculum tali of calcaneus to navicular to help support the medial longitudinal arch
deltoid ligaments will be taut in what motion
eversion +
- tibotalar - DF
tibonavicular - PF, abd
lateral collateral ligaments will be taut in what motion
inversion +
- ATFL: PF, add
- CFL: DF
-PTFL: DF, abd
