The foot Flashcards
femoral nerve innervates
quadriceps
obturator nerve innervates
hip adductors
superior gluteal nerve innervates
hip abductors
inferior gluteal nerve innervates
gluteus maximus
sciatic nerve innervates
hamstrings
sciatic nerve gives rise to
tibial nerve and common fibular nerve
trial nerve innervates
all the muscles in the posterior compartments of the leg
common fibular nerve divides into two branches
superficial fibular nerve - innervates lateral compartment of the leg deep fibular nerve - innervates anterior compartment muscles
superficial fibular nerve innervates
lateral compartment of the leg
deep fibular nerve
- innervates anterior compartment muscles
femoral artery passed through the adductor hiatus and becomes the
popliteal artery
popliteal artery gives rise to the
anterior and posterior tibial arteries
anterior tibial artery vascularizes
the anterior compartment then becomes the dorsal pedal artery in the foot
posterior tibial artery vascularizes
the posterior compartments and gives rise to the fibular artery (lateral compartment) then plantar arteries (medial and lateral) in the foot
how many tarsal bones
7
how many metatarsals
5
how many phalanges
14
bones of the tarsus
talus calcaneous cuboid navicular 3 cuneiform bones
this bone is almost entirely covered with articular cartilage
talus
neck of the talus
entrance site for the arteries that vascularize the bone
posterior tubercles on the talus
provide a groove for the FHL tendon
commonly fractured tarsal bones
talus and calcaneous
this fracture results from dorsiflexion injuries
talus
fractures through the neck of the talus can
disrupt the vascular supply and lead to avascular necrosis of the talus
heel bone
calcaneus
articulates with the talus superiorly at the subtalor joint
calcaneus
insertion of achilles tendon
posterior aspect of calcaneus
the tendon of the FHL passes beneath the ___________ and inserts into the distal phalanx of the hallux
sustentaculum tali
aviator fractures
talus fracture
mechanism of calcaneal fracture
often results from a fall from a ladder or jumping from a height and landing on a high axial load on the rear foot
what to keep in mind when considering calcaneal fractures
must rule out associated fractures of the spine - particularly lower thoracic and lumbar
calcaneal fractures that involve the _____ have a poor long term prognosis and severe arthritis can accompany this injury
STJ - sustentaculum tali
part of the calcaneus that supports the head of the talus
shortest and thickest metatarsal
first
