wk 7- tibia, fibula, tarsals and ankle joint Flashcards
what joint is, what ligaments attach and what movement is the Proximal tibiofibular joint?
•Plane synovial joint (flat facets)
•Articular joint capsule attaches to margins of the articular surfaces
•Anterior and posterior ligaments
•Slight movement during dorsiflexion
what joint, ligaments and movements is the distal tibiofibular joint
- Syndesmotic fibrous joint (compound )
• Compound because:
• Interosseous membrane (unites shafts)
•Anterior, Interosseous and Posterior inferior tibiofibular ligaments
•NB posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament forms inferior tibiofibular joint =
unites distal ends (malleoli) of bone > posterior wall of ankle joint
•ESSENTIAL for stability of ankle joint as it keeps lateral malleolus firmly against
surface of lateral surface of talus – slight movement during dorsiflexion
types of arches and what bones are included in them? and keystone for each
medial longitudinal arch- calcaneus, metatarsals 1, 2, 3, cuneiform M, I, L, talus (talus)
lateral longitudinal arch- calcaneus, cuboid, metatarsals 4, 5. (cuboid)
transverse arch- base of metatarsals, all cuneiforms, cuboid
arches of foot created by
1) Shape of the bones
2) Tightness of associated
ligaments
3) Muscles that cross joint
supporting arches
flat foot is also called and causes
pes planus
• Ligament weakness (plantar
clacaneonavicular/spring lig)
• Muscle weakness (tibialis
posterior, fibularis longus)
• Injury to the foot
• Risk factors such as injury,
obesity and rheumatoid
arthritis
high arch foot is called? and symptoms
pes cavus
Metatarsalgia (1st and 5th metatarsal heads)
• Calluses/corns
• Claw toes
• Ankle joint instability with frequent sprains
• Tight Achilles tendons
what does deltoid ligament do for the ankle joint?
Medial/deltoid ligament – stabiles ankle joint during eversion and
prevents subluxation (partial dislocation) of the joint
lateral ligaments of ankle joint
- Anterior talofibular ligament
lateral malleolus to lateral facet and
neck of talus - Posterior talofibular ligament
horizontally from lateral malleolar fossa
to lateral tubercle of talus - Calcaneofibular ligament
long cordlike ligament extends from apex
of lateral malleolus to ~ pereonal
tubercle on calcaneus
major movements of ankle joint?
dorsiflexion - initiated by extensor muscles
plantar flexion- initiated by flexor muscles
minor movements of ankle joint
inversion and eversion
cuneiforms
Medial Cuneiform
Lateral surface has an L-shaped facet.
Intermediate Cuneiform
Medial surface has an L-shaped facet.
Lateral surface has a B-shaped facet.
Lateral Cuneiform
Medial surface has a B:-shaped facet.
Lateral surface has 2 facets.
medial collateral/ deltoid ligaments
Three superficial bands
1. Tibiocalcaneal ligament
2. Tibionavicular ligament
3. Superficial post. tibiotalar ligament
Two deep bands
1. Deep anterior tibiotalar
2. Deep posterior tibiotalar
lateral collateral ligament
- Anterior talofibular ligament
- Calcaneofibular ligament
- Posterior talofibular ligament
what 2 joints are sndesmoses joint?
joined by 2 bones and ligaments to support the joint
distal tibiofibular joint and cuboideonavicular joint
what movement does the proximal tibiofibular joint do
gliding
do phalanges count as the arches of the foot?
no
talus articulates with what bones?
tibia fibula, calcaneus and navicular
what muscle attaches to the navicular bone
tibialis posterior
