Fibularis brevis (deep to longus)

Question 11

Actions of the muscles in the lateral compartment

Answer 11

Plantarflexion
Eversion

Question 12

Innervation of the muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg

Answer 12

Superficial fibular nerve

Question 13

Answer 17

posterior tibial artery

Question 18

Muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg

Answer 18

Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Plantaris

Question 19

What tears w/ sudden unexpected or violent DF of the foot while in PF or sudden forced plantar flexion

Answer 19

Achilles tendon (calcaneal tendon)

Question 20

Test to see if Achilles tendon (calcaneal tendon) is torn

Answer 20

Calf squeeze test

Question 21

What runs through the tendinous arch of soleus

Answer 21

Tibial nerve and popliteal artery

Question 22

Muscles of the deep posterior compartment of the leg

Answer 22

Tibialis posterior
Flexor digitorum longus
Flexor hallucis longus

Question 23

Where does the superficial posterior compartment innervation originate

Answer 23

S1,S2 of tibial nerve

Question 24

where does the deep posterior compartment of leg innervation originate

Answer 24

L4-S2 of tibial nerve

Question 25

How would a herniated disc between L4/L5 impact the posterior compartment

Answer 25

Deep compartemnt would be affected, superficial would be left alone This is because the deep is innervated from L4-S2 and superficial is innervated from S1-S2

Question 26

Answer 29

Ankle Mortise

Answer 30

Talocrural Synovial hinge joint (PF, DF)

Question 31

Joint between the distal tiba and fibula What type?

Answer 31

Tibiofibular joint Syndesmosis fibrous joint

Question 32

Joint between talus and calcaneus What type

Answer 32
