Which condition is the least common out of pes planus, Charcot arthropathy, hallux rigidus or hallux valgus
Charcot arthropathy
What is the most common type of ankle fracture and why
Bimalleolar fracture, due to strong ligaments that support the joint. Commonly cause avulsion fracture
Non-insertion all tendonitis is most common in
Young, active people
Which tibial condyle is more commonly fractured
The lateral tibial condyle, which is why the ACL is often damaged
Which ligament is most commonly damaged in tibial plateau fracture
Anterior cruciate ligament as it is the lateral tibial condyle which is most commonly damaged and this is the attachment of the ACL
What does the common peroneal nerve supply
The anterior compartment of the lower leg. this is why a patient with this injury may get foot drop
Pain of compartment syndrome is described as
Poorly localised as nerves in the limb are all under extreme pressure. Deep and constant.
Where does the sciatic nerve divide to form the common peroneal and tibial nerves
At the superior border of the popliteal fossa. It can however divide at any point superior to this
What is calcaneovalgus posture
Position of the foot in dorsiflexion caused by tibial nerve injury
The common peroneal nerve and tibial nerve are direct branches of the
Sciatic nerve. Split in most people at superior border of the popliteal fossa
What forms the medial border of the femoral triangle
Medial border of adductor longus
what makes the inferomedial border of the popliteal fossa
Medial head of gastrocnemius
What problem is associated with the femoral canal
A femoral hernia- abdominal contents like loops of bowel squeeze into femoral canal
Problem associated with inguinal canal
inguinal hernia
Problem involving piriformis
Piriformis syndrome is compression of the sciatic nerve in the gluteal region
What is the consequence of excessive hypertrophy of the vastus medialis mesucle
Adductor canal compression syndrome. This can lead to Parasthesia (compression of saphenous nerve) and claudication (compression of femoral artery)
What are the surfaces of the patella that articulate with the femoral condyles called
Facets, exist on posterior surface
Which metatarsals articulate with the cuboid
4th and 5th. Cuboids position on lateral side of foot.
The tibialis posterior muscles acts to…
Plantarflex and invert the foot
What is the superolateral border of the popliteal fossa?
Biceps femoris
Deep fibular nerve supplies?
1st webbed space
What lies immediately anterior to tibial artery in popliteal fossa
Flexor digitorum longus tendon
What supplies the purple and green regions
Medial and lateral plantar nerves
What supplies the blue region
Saphenous nerve
