Q

How is the tibia and fibula held together?

A

through interosseous membrane

  • joins the interosseous border of the tibia with the interosseous borderof the fibula
  • also splits the leg into an anterior and posterior compartment

Q

What is the level of movement in the tallus joint?

A
  • hinge joint => main movement is plantarflexion and dorsiflexion
  • the articular surface is narrower posteriorly = joint more unstable when plantar flexed
  • plantarflexed position allows for ‘wiggle room’ which allows for eversion/inversion or abduction/adduction

Q

What are the 4 parts of the medial ligament of the ankle joint?

Q

What are the lateral ligaments in the ankle?

A
  1. anterior talofibular ligament - clinically important because mostly involved in ankle sprains
  2. calcaneofibular ligament
  3. posterior talofibular ligament

An ankle sprain refers to partial or complete tears in the ligaments of the ankle joint. It usually occurs via excessive inversion to a plantarflexed and weight-bearing foot.

Q

What does the natural arch of the foot allow for?

A

weight distribution acting as a lever

26
Q

What are the divisions of the arch of the foot?

A

medial longitudinal arch, lateral longitudinal, transverse arch

27
Q

How are some people flat-footed? clin rel

A

calcaneaonavicular joint disruption = collapse of medial arch = flat footed

28
Q

What are the ligaments across the toes?

A

collateral ligaments, plantar ligaments

29
Q

label these

A
30
Q

What are the compartments of the leg?

A

anterior, posterior, and lateral

  • anterior and posterior separated by the interosseous membrane
  • lateral formed by the anterior and posterior intermuscular septa
31
Q

What are the components of the superficial compartment of the leg?

A
  • gastrocnemius (lateral and medial head) - become archilles (calcaneous) tendon
  • soleus
  • plantaris
  • popliteal
  • popliteus
32
Q

Where does the gastrocnemius and soleus join?

A

at the calcaneal tendon / archilles

33
Q

What does the plantaris do?

A

not much - but does have a long tendon which can be harvested for repair elsewhere

34
Q

What does the popliteus allow for?

A

knee flexion and locks the knee joint for lateral rotation

35
Q

What are the borders of the popliteal fossa?

A
  • Superomedial border = semimembranous
  • Superolateral border = biceps femoris
  • Inferomedial border = medial head of gastrocnemius
  • Inferolateral border = lateral head of gastrocnemius and plantaris
36
Q

What are the components of the deep compartment of leg?

A
  • tibialis posterior (forms medial arch of foot as it inserts into medial side of foot)
  • flexor digitorum longus
  • flexor halllucis longus
37
Q

What is the tarsal tunnel? clin rel

A

narrow space in medial ankle where tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus and its nerves and lymphatic run

38
Q

What is the calcaneal bursa?

A

reduces friction when the calcaneal tendon moves up and down

39
Q

What are the components of the lateral leg?

A
  • fibularis longus
  • fibularis brevis (attaches to tuberosity on 5th metatarsal)
  • fibular retinaculum (helps with plantarflexion)
40
Q

What is the main job of the lateral compartment of the foot?

A

evertion of foot

41
Q

label the tendon and ligaments holding it in place

A
42
Q

What is in the anterior compartment of the leg?

A
  • tibialis anterior
  • extensor hallucis longus
  • extensor digitorum longus
  • fibularis tertius (help with eversion and insert into 5th metatarsal)
43
Q

How does the fibularis longus tendon travel?

A

underneath the foot to the 1st metatarsal

44
Q

What is the plantar aponeurosis for?

A

allow the ligament to come and join before spreading

45
Q

How does the femoral artery go through the popliteal fossa?

A

femoral artery => through adductor hiatus => turns into popliteal artery

46
Q

What are the contents of the popliteal fossa?

A
  • popliteal artery
  • popliteal vein - gives small saphenous vein branch
  • sciatic nerve starts at the top and splits into common fibular nerve and tibial nerve
47
Q

What do the genicular arteries do?

A

pass around the knee

48
Q

What is the artery travel in posterior leg?

A

popliteal => anterior tibial (piercing through interosseous membrane) = through the anterior compartment => supply the muscle => becomes dorsalis pedis

49
Q

Nerve innervation to anterior compartment of leg

Nerve innervation to lateral compartment of leg

A

common fibular nerve => superifical and deep fibular (L5-S2)

superficial fibular nerve

50
Q

Nerve innervation to posterior compartment of leg

A

tibial nerve, medial plantar nerve (further down) and lateral plantar nerve

51
Q

what does the sural nerve do in the posterior leg?

A

penetrate deep fascia

52
Q

How does the saphenous vein travel?

A

up the dorsal side of the foot and then wraop around the medial part of thigh and peirce the deep fascia

53
Q

What is the order of the contents through the tarsal tunnel?

A

Tom, dick, and very nervous harry
1.tibialis posterior
2.Digitiorium liongus
3.Artery, vein, nerve
4.Harry

54
Q

How does pain in the tarsal tunnel ascend?

A

through the calf

55
Q

What are the 5 compartments of the foot?

A
  • Medial compartment of sole
  • Central compartment of sole
  • Lateral compartment of sole
  • Interosseous compartment of foot
  • Dorsal compartment of foot
56
Q

What is in layer 1 of foot?

A

flexor digitorium brvis, abductor hallucis, abductor digiti minimi

57
Q

What is in layer 2 of foot?

A

lumbrical 1-4, flexor hallucis, flexor digitorum longus tendon, flexor hallucis tendon, quadratus plantae

58
Q

What is in layer 3 of foot?

A

adductor hallucis, flexor digiti minimi, flexor hallucis brevis

59
Q

What is in layer 4 of foot?

A
  • plantar interossei (1, 2,3 )
  • dorsal interossi (1, 2, )
  • fibularis longus tendon
60
Q

Where do all muscles on the dorsal side of the foot come from?

A

calcaneus

61
Q

What bones is the hindfoot made of?

A

tarsal and calcaneus
