Q

Ankle Sprains

A

Grading Scale

  • Grade 1 → injury to the ATF
  • Grade 2 → injury to the ATF & CF
  • Grade 3 → injury to all 3 lateral ankle ligaments (ATF, CF, PTF)
  • 85% of all ankle sprains are inversion sprains
21
Q

Axes of movement for talocrural joint

A

-

22
Q

Axes of movement for the midtarsal joint

A

-

23
Q

Relationship between the midtarsal axes with pronation and supination

A

-

24
Q

Strength of Ankle Ligaments

A
Lateral Ligaments
- ATF = 139 N
- PTF = 261 N
- CF = 346 N
Deltoid Ligament
- 714 N
25
Q

What are the components of a bunion?

A
  • Callus
  • Bursa
  • Exostosis
26
Q

Toe Deformities

A
  • Claw Toe
  • Hammer Toe
  • Mallet Toe
  • Usually flexible at first, but they harden over time, making correction difficult
27
Q

Claw Toe

A
Pathology 
- Hyperextended proximal phalanx
- Flexed middle and distal phalanx
Calluses
- At head of metatarsal
- At head of proximal phalanx
28
Q

Hammer Toe

A
Pathology 
- Extended proximal phalanx
- Flexed middle phalanx
- Neutral distal phalanx
Callus
- At head of proximal phalanx
29
Q

Mallet Toe

A

Pathology
- Flexed distal phalanx
Callus
- At head of middle phalanx

30
Q

Hallux Valgus

A
  • As the metatarsal bone moves medially, the base of the proximal phalanx is carried with it
  • The phalanx pivots around the adductor hallucis muscle
  • The distal phalanx deviates laterally
31
Q

How does the fibula move with dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?

A
Dorsiflexion
- 2 degrees of external rotation
- Slides towards the head
Plantarflexion
- Internal rotation
- Slides towards the feet
32
Q

What makes up the ankle mortise?

A
  • Base of the tibia
  • Lateral malleolus
  • Medial malleolus
33
Q

Primary Dorsiflexors

A
  • Tibialis anterior
  • Ext. hallucis longus
  • Ext. digitorum longus
  • Fibularis tertius
34
Q

Primary Plantarflexors

A
  • Gastrocnemius
  • Soleus
  • Plantaris
35
Q

Secondary Plantarflexors

A
  • Tibialis posterior
  • Flexor digitorum longus
  • Flexor hallucis longus
  • Fibularis longus
  • Fibularis brevis
36
Q

A
  • Fibularis longus

- Fibularis brevis

37
Q

A
  • Fibularis tertius

- Ext. digitorum longus

38
Q

39
Q

Secondary Inverters

A
  • Flexor digitorum longus
  • Flexor hallucis longus
  • Tibialis anterior
  • Extension hallucis longus
40
Q

What is the windlass mechanism, and how does it behave under load?

A
  • Plantar fascia acts like a spring

- Elongates a max of 9-12% between mid-stance and toe-off

41
Q

What are the degrees associated with flat foot (pes planus) when using meary’s angle?

A
  • 0 degrees → normal
  • 0-15 degrees → mild
  • 15-30 degrees → moderate
  • > 30 degrees → servere
42
Q

Meary’s Angle

A

Long axis of the talus should nearly bisect the navicular and first metatarsal shaft

43
Q

Calcaneal Angle

A

18-20 degrees is considered normal

44
Q

Feiss Line

A
  • Line from the medial malleolus to the plantar aspect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint
  • Used to measure pronation of the foot during weightbearing
  • Measures the drop of the “navicular tub”
45
Q

A
  • Thickening of tissue around a nerve

- Squeeze metatarsal heads together

46
Q
