17
Q

What type of joint is the ankle?

A

Hinge joint (synovial)

18
Q

The ankle has an articular capsule that is thin anteriorly and posteriorly and is supported by strong _______ _______ on either side.

A

Collateral Ligaments

19
Q

This ligament stabilizes the ankle joint during eversion.

A

Medial (Deltoid) Ligament

20
Q

The Medial (Deltoid) Ligament has four parts named from the leg bone to the foot bone they attach to. What are the parts?

A

Anterior Tibiotalar part
Tibionavicular part
Tibiocalcaneal part
Posterior Tibiotalar part

21
Q

This is the name for a severe eversion of the ankle. The Fibular and Medial Malleolus are fractured, and the Medial (Deltoid) Ligament is torn.

A

Pott’s Fracture-Dislocation

22
Q

This ligament is also on the medial border of the ankle and goes from the Sustentaculum Tali to the navicular.

A

Plantar Calcaneonavicular Ligament (Spring Ligament)

23
Q

The lateral ankle consists of three discrete ligaments that attach the Lateral Malleolus to the Talus and Calcaneus. They are named from the foot bone to the leg bone they attach. What are these ligaments?

A

Posterior Tibiofibular Ligament
Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament
Anterior Talofibular Ligament

24
Q

The Posterior Tibiofibular L. and Anterior Tibiofibular L. make up what?

A

Tibiofibular Syndesmosis (Syndesmotic Ligaments)

25
Q

What injury is the Tibiofibular Syndesmosis (Syndesmotic Ligaments) associated with?

A

High ankle sprain

26
Q

There are two important intertarsal joints, which are…

A 
Transverse Tarsal Joint
Subtalar Joint (Talocalcanean Joint)
27
Q

What does the Transverse Tarsal Joint consist of?

A

Calcaneocuboid Joint
Talonavicular Joint

***Two separate joints aligned transversely

28
Q

The Transverse Tarsal Joint working together permit slight rotation and thus add to inversion and eversion at the ________ Joint.

A

Talocalcaneal

29
Q

Transection across the Transverse Tarsal Joint is a standard method for what?

A

Surgical amputation of the foot

30
Q

This joint is where the Talus rests on the Calcaneus and its main movements are inversion and eversion.

A

Subtalar (Talocalcanean) Joint

31
Q

The fibrous capsule of the Subtalar (Talocalcanean) Joint is supported by…

A

Interosseous Talocalcaneal Ligament

32
Q

T/F. The ankle is the most frequently injured joint in the body.

A

True

33
Q

Ankle sprains (ligament fiber tears) are almost always an (EVERSION/INVERSION) injury.

A

Inversion

34
Q

This ligament always tears first in an inversion ankle sprain.

A

Anterior Talofibular Ligament

***ATF ligament = Always Tears First (ATF)

35
Q

This ankle ligaments connects the Fibula (Lateral Malleolus) to the Calcaneus.

A

Calcaneofibular Ligament

36
Q

These two ligaments provide support anterolaterally and posterolaterally to the ankle joint.

A

Anterior Talofibular Ligament

Posterior Talofibular Ligament

37
Q

The Extensor Retinaculum is divided into two sections. This section of Extensor Retinaculum runs transversely alone the distal anterior leg.

A

Superficial Extensor Retinaculum

38
Q

The Extensor Retinaculum is divided into two sections. This section of Extensor Retinaculum runs transversely alone the proximal dorsal foot.

A

Inferior Extensor Retinaculum
