  • Plantar aponeurosis
  • Abductor digiti minimi
  • Flexor digitorum brevis 4 & 5
  • Long plantar ligament
  • Short plantar ligament
17
Q

Medial Longitudinal Support

A
  • Tom, dick and Harry
  • Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
  • Plantar fascia
  • Abductor Hallucis
  • Flexor digitorum brevis II, III
18
Q

Talocrural Joint

A
  • Concave tibial plafond and convex talar dome
  • Axis– posterolateral inferior to anteromedial superior, approximately 15 degrees off the frontal plane.
  • Triplanar motion
    • PF-Add-inv
    • DF-Abd-ever
  • Open pack position– slight PF (10 degrees)
  • Closed pack position– maximal DF
19
Q

•What’s the name of the ligament on medial side?

A

Deltoid – 4 parts on medial side coming from the navicular, talus and calcaneus and connecting to the medial malleolus

20
Q

•Name the Lateral stabilizing ligaments:

A

–Anterior talofibular

–Calcaneofibular

–Posterior talofibular

21
Q

Describe retinaculum and what are the names?

A

band around tendons that holds them in place

  • Transverse crural (superior extensor retinaculum)
  • Cruciate crural (inferior extensor retinaculum)
22
Q

What do the lateral ankle ligaments do?

A

Help resist anterior/posterior glide of talus on the tibia

Help resist dorsiflexion and plantarflexion and inversion

23
Q

3 Important lateral ankle ligaments

A
  1. ATF
  2. CF
  3. PTF
24
Q

When is ATF, CF, and PTF under greatest tension? What are their purposes?

A
  • ATF under greatest tension in plantar flexion
    • Resists ankle inversion, plantar flexion, and anterior glide of the talus
  • CF under greatest tension in dorsiflexion
    • resists ankle inversion- more so when neutral or dorsiflexed
  • PTF under greatest strain in dorsiflexion
    • Limits posterior talar glide and talar external rotation
25
Q
  • Strength of Lateral Ligaments (based on cadaver loading force)
  • Deltoid ligament resists eversion, external rotation and plantarflexion
A

Anterior talofibular (139 N)

Posterior talofibular (261 N)

Calcaneofibular (346 N)

Deltoid ligament resists eversion, external rotation and plantarflexion (714 N)

26
Q

__% of all ankle sprains are ____sprains.

A

85% of all ankle sprains are inversion sprains.

27
Q

Ankle sprain Typical Basic Grading scale:

A

Grade 1 = injury to the ATF

Grade 2 = injury to ATF and CF

Grade 3 = injury to all 3 lateral ankle ligaments (ATF, CF, PTF)

Q
A
