Joints of the foot Flashcards
(140 cards)
Ankle joint is formed by ?
- Malleolar fork or ankle mortice 2. Talar dome
Malleoar fork or ankle mortice is formed by?
- lateral surface of medial malleolus 2.inferior surface of distal extemity of tibia 3. medial surface of lateral malleolus
What is talar dome?
medial, superior and lateral surface of the body of talus
Movement at ankle joint is primarily——–due to major angulation to ———plane
dorsiflexion, sagittal
which ones are stronger? lateral ankle joint or medial ankle joints
medial ankle joints
what kind of ligament is anterior talofibular ligament ?
capsular ligament
where does the anterior talofibular ligament attach to?
anterior border of lateral malleolus and lateral surface of the body of talus
what type of ligament is calcaneofibular lig?
extracapuslar
where does the calcaneofibular lig attach to?
anterior border of the apex of lateral malleolus and and to the fibular spine on the lateral surface of the calcaneous
calcaneofibular lig is crossed superficially by what structure?
fibularis longus and fibularis brevis tendons
what type of ligament is posterior talofibular ?
capsular
where dies the posterior talofibular attach to?
inferior portion of the malleolar fossa and to the lateral tubercle on the posterior surface of the talus.
what is the weakest lateral ankle ligament?
anterior talofibular lig
what is the strongest and most deeply situated ligament of lateral ankle ligaments?
posterior talofibular ligament
medial ankle ligamnets are what type of ligament?
All are capsular lig
what are the superficial deltoid lig?
- tibionavicular 2. calcaneotibial 3.posterior talotibial
where does the tibionavicular lig attach to?
anterior colliculus and dorsomedial aspect of navicular
where does the calcaneotibial lig attach to?
anterior colliculus and sustentaculum tali
where does the posterior talotibial lig attach to?
anterior colliculus and medial tubercle on the posterior surface of the body of talus
what are the deep deltoid lig?
- anterior talotibial 2. deep posterior talotibial
anterior talotibial lig
attaches to anterior colliculus and intercollicular groove on the medial surface of the body of talus below the pear-shaped articular facet
deep posterior talotibial lig
attaches to the posterior colliculus ,and to the intercollicular groove adn to the medial tubercle on the posterior surface of the body of talus
what is the weakest component of deltoid lig?
tibionavicular lig
ankle sprain
twisting of the weightbearing foot usually in the inverted and plantarflexed position.damage usually includes anterior talofibular lig and calcaneofibular lig ( lateral ankle lig) posterior talofibular is rarely damaged due to its horizontal nature .
