Week 9 Anterior and lateral leg Flashcards
joint classification of proximal (superior) tibiofibular joint
plane synovial joint, non weight bearing
fibrous capsule of proximal (superior) tibiofibular joint
tendon of popliteus (popliteus bursa) sits posteriorly
ligaments of proximal (superior) tibiofibular joint
- anterior ligament of head of fibula
- posterior ligament of head of fibula
movement of proximal (superior) tibiofibular joint
slight movement occurs during plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of the ankle
joint classification of distal (inferior) tibiofibular joint
compound fibrous joint (syndesmosis)
bone and articular surfaces of distal (inferior) tibiofibular joint
- medial surface distal fibula
- fibular notch of distal tibia
ligaments of distal (inferior) tibiofibular joint
- interosseous membrane –> increase area of muscle attachment
- interosseous ligament
- anterior and posteiror tibiofibular
- transverse (inferior) tibiofibular
movement of distal (inferior) tibiofibular joint
slight movement (during plantarflexion/ dorsiflexion of the ankle)
differences between proximal and distal tibiofibular joint
proximal tibiofibular joint:
- plane synovial joint
- have fibrous capsule
distal tibiofibular joint:
- compound fibrous joint (syndesmosis)
- habe interosseous membrane
- no joint cavity
what are the four muscles of anterior compartment of the leg
- tibialis anterior
- extensor digitorum longus
- extensor hallucis longus
- fibularis tertius
proximal attachment of tibialis anterior
- interosseous membrane
- lateral condyle and superior half of lateral surface of tibia
distal attachment of tibialis anterior
- base of 1st metatarsal
- medial and inferior surfaces of medial cuneiform
innervation of tibialis anterior
deep fibular nerve
main action of tibialis anterior
- dorsiflexes ankle joint
- inverts subtalar joint
proximal attachment of extensor digitorum longus
- interosseous membrane
- lateral condyle of tibia
- superior three quarters of medial surface of fibula
distal attachment of extensor digitorum longus
middle and distal phalanges of lateral four digits (2-5)
innervation of extensor digitorum longus
deep fibular nerve
main action of extensor digitorum longus
- dorsiflexes ankle joint
- extends lateral four digits
