Q

In what position is the ankle joint more stable? Why?

A

dorsiflexion
- when we dorsiflex our ankle when we dorsiflex the talus glides posterior and it comes into contact with a narrow part of the bottom of the tibia and fibula
- “when we plantar flex the talus glides anterior. narrow posterior part of the talus is in contact with the wide posterior portion of the tibia and fibula. bones are “loose” and the talus can move around a lot in the distal tibia and fibula
- ankle sprains typically occur when plantar flexed
because the talus has room to move around so it’s easier to collapse into plantar flexion

33
Q

How can taping an ankle help?

A
  • tape provides pressure on ankle joint that stimulates muscle contraction a bit sooner than it would
  • Provides effective injury prevention in athletes with previous ankle injury, but not in uninjured players
  • Benefit most through proprioceptive stimulated
34
Q

Fill in the blank: _____ of patients who sustain an ankle sprain develop chronic ankle instability that results in recurring injury to that ankle and later develops traumatic arthritis

A

74%

35
Q

Of the 3 lateral ligaments, which is the weakest?

A

Anterior talofibular ligament is the weakest of all 3 lateral ligaments

36
Q

Anterior talofibular ligament function

A

stop forward subluxation of the talus

37
Q

A complete rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament causes what?

A

Complete rupture allows talus to rotate about its longitudinal axis in the transverse plane creating rotary ankle instability

38
Q

True or false: Generalized joint laxity and anatomical foot type are not risk factors for ankle sprains

A

true!

39
Q

Define: hemarthrosis

A

bleeding into joint spaces

40
Q

Define: mechanical instability

A

laxity that physically allows for movement beyond the physiologic limit of the ankle’s range of motion

41
Q

Define: functional instability

A

subjective feeling that the ankle is unstable as a result of recurrent ankle sprains; attributed to proprioceptive and/or neuromuscular deficits that negatively impact postural control and thus stability and balance

42
Q

What causes an ankle fracture?

A

forceful abduction

43
Q

Define: avulsion fracture

A

chip of bone is pulled off by ligament resistance (common in grade 2 or 3 eversion or inversion sprains)

44
Q

Define: bimalleolar fracture

A

both the medial malleolus of the distal tibia and the lateral malleolus of the distal fibula are fractured

45
Q

Define: Osteochondritis Dissecans

  • where does it occur
  • symptoms and signs
  • management
A
  • joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow
  • Can occur in the superior medial articular surface of the talar dome
  • Symptoms and signs: pain and effusion with signs of progressing atrophy. Joint may catch, lock, or give way, particularly if fragment is detached
  • Management: x ray diagnosis; immobilize ankle and delay weight bearing until evidence of healing; if fragment is displaced, surgery is recommended to excise the fragment and minimize the risk of non-union
46
Q

Define: trochlea

A

talar dome (dorsal side of talar)

47
Q

What is the largest foot bone?

A

calcaneus

48
Q

Define: plafond

A

distal articulating surface of the tibia (ceiling in french_

49
Q

Why is inversion ankle sprains more common than eversion?

A
  • fibula blocks and prevents the talus from going into eversion
  • strong ligaments on the medial side of the ankle
50
Q

List what to do for an ankle assessment

A
  • ask history of current injury
  • ask past history relevant of injury to the area
  • compare with uninjured extremity
  • Inspection/Observation
  • Range of motion(ROM)
  • Ligament test
  • Functional/Special tests
  • Palpation
51
Q

Describe the anterior drawer test

A

stabilize distal tibia and fibula

grab heel and pull foot anterior

test if you can clear talus over the distal tibia (significant ankle sprains may make this possible)

52
Q

Describe the talar tilt test

A

tilt talus into inversion or eversion to stress ligaments

  • test for increased laxity
53
Q

Why are eversion sprains typically worse than inversion sprains?

A
  • avulsion fracture of the tibia possible
  • usually severity of injury is worse and time to heal is thus longer
  • X ray likely to rule out fracture
  • Grade 2 or more eversion sprain can cause significant joint instability and also lead to a fallen arch
