Q

WHat is the most lateral superficial muscle of the foot?

A

Abductor digiti minimi

Posterior Calcaneus to proximal phalanx of the little toe

40
Q

Describe how attachment to the calcaneus changes as the muscle gets deeper in the foot

A

The more superficial a muscle, the more posterior it’s attachment

41
Q

Describe the flexor digitorum brevis

A

Equivalent of flexor digitorum superficialis in the upper limb
Extends from calcaneus, four tendons reach the middle phalanges and split into two as they approach their insertions

42
Q

What are three superficial muscles of the foot?

A

Abductor digiti minimi
Abductor hallucis
Flexor digitorum brevis

43
Q

What are the four intermediate depth muscles in the foot?

A

Flexor digitorum longus
Flexor accessorius
Flexor hallucis longus
Lumbricals

44
Q

Describe flexor digitorum longus

A

Equivalent to profundus in the hand
Enters foot as single tendon, flattens into sheet, then divides into four
Comes from tibia (anatomically ‘wrong’ bone)

45
Q

Describe flexor accessorius

A

Necessary to compensate for the oblique pull of the FDL
Runs from calcaneum to the FDL tendon
Also known as quadratus plantae

46
Q

Where does the tendon of flexor hallucis longus originate and attach?

A

Originates from the fibula (the ‘wrong bone’)

47
Q

Which two tendons cross each other soon after they enter the foot?

A

Flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus

48
Q

Which muscles are the lumbricals attached to?

A

The lumbricals arise from the FDL tendons

50
Q

Where do you find the long plantar ligament? How else could you identify it?

A

Extending from the calcaneus to the lateral metacarpals
It’s a thick band and covers the tendon of fibularis longus
Some of the ligament fibres attach to the cuboid bone to make a tunnel for the tendon of fibularis longus

51
Q

Where is the short plantar ligament?

A

On a deeper plane to the long plantar ligament, and extend from the calcaneus to the cuboid bone

52
Q

Where do you find the spring ligament?

It’s upper surface usually has some fibrocartilage

54
Q

Describe the location and distinct features of the flexor hallucis brevis muscle?

A

Has a single proximal attachment via a single tendinous attachment from under the cuboid bone

It’s tendons have sesamoid bones within them

55
Q

Where is the adductor hallucis? How many parts does it have?

A

Adductor hallucis is lateral to flexor hallucis brevis

Has a transverse and oblique head, like adductor pollicis in the hand

56

By extensor expansions

60
Q

What forms the tarsal sinus?

A

The groove between the posterior and middle facets of the calcaneum and the similar groove on the talus

61
Q

What occupies the tarsal sinus?

A

The strong interosseous talocalcaneal ligament

62
Q

What supplements the talonavicular joint?

A

A facet on the talus which rests on the spring ligament

63
Q

What makes up the talocalcaneonavicular joint?

A

The two anterior joints of the subtalar complex, and the talonavicular joint together

64
Q

What is the subtalar joint complex?

A

A joint complex made up of three articulating surfaces between the talus and the calcaneum

65
Q

Which three long muscles come from the posterior compartment of the leg into the foot?

A

Tom Dick & Harry

Flexor Tibialis
Flexor Digitorum longus
Flexor Hallucis longus

66
Q

At which joint does inversion and eversion of the foot occur?

A

Subtalar joint with rotation of the head of the talus

67
Q

What is the transverse tarsal joint made up of?

A

The talonavicular (ball and socket) and the calcaneocuboid joint

68
Q

What does the distal surface of the navicular bone articulate with>

A

All three cuneiform bones –> cuneonavicular joints

69
Q

Describe the tarsometatarsal joints

A
  • Cuboid articulates with two metatarsals
  • Cuneiform bone articulate with one metatarsal
  • Bases of metatarsals articulate with each other
70
Q

What type of joints are the metatarsophalangeal joints?

A

Condyloid joints

71
Q

What is the difference between the medial and lateral ligaments of the foot?

A

The medial ligaments are thicker and stronger than the lateral as they have to stop eversion

72
Q

What is the deltoid ligament in the foot?

A

Composed of anterior tibiotalar ligament, tibiocalcaneal ligament, posterior tibiotalar ligament and the tibionavicular ligament
