Q

where do talus fractures commonly occur? what can this lead to? why?

A

neck of talus…leads to avascular necrosis because of the neck holding all the blood supply to the talus

Q

a bad ankle sprain can lead to a fracture of what foot bone? why?

A

fracture of the fifth metatarsal…because when sprain ankle the fibularis brevis will contract really hard and can break the tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal

23
Q

what does the plantar aponeurosis help with?
