| What type of joint is the ankle and what does it articulate with | Synovial hinge joint between the talus, tibia and fibula |
| What are the different ligaments of the foot | Medial Collateral Ligament and Deltoid ligament complex --> damaged by excess eversion since it prevents hypereversion, made up of anterior/posterior tibiotalar ligament, tibionavicular ligament and the tibiocalcaneal ligamnet Lateral Collateral Ligaments ( x3 ) made of the Anterior Talofibular, Posterior Talofibular and Calcneofibular ligament --> prevents excess inversion but can be damaged more easily than the medial collateral ligament |
| How can you examine an ATFL tear? | Ankle drawer test |
| What does malleolar fracture cause? | Pain and swelling, unable to weight bear and pain on palpation |
| What is Valgus and Varus? | Valgus --> pointing away from the midlinne ( distal part of the joint ) Varus --> pointing towards the midline |
| What are the locations of the 5 nerves of the foot ( plantar side ) | Main is tibial --> medial and lateral plantar branches of from the tibial nerve Medial plantar --> All digits except half of 4th digit and 5th digit Lateral plantar --> half of 4th and 5th digits Saphenous --> medial side of the plantar foot Sural --> Lateral side of the plantar foot is sural Tibial --> sole of the foot Dorsal side --> superficial peroneal nerve |
| What is the locations of the nerves in the dorsal side of the foot | Most of it is the superficial peroneal nerve except the 1st and 2nd digits middle part which is deep peroneal nerve Sural is lateral side without any digits Saphenous is medial side without any digits |
| What is in the layer 1 of the intrinsic muscles | Flexor Digitorum brevis Adductor Hallucis Abductor digiti minimi |
| Layer 2 of the intrinsic muscle | Flexor hallucis longus Lumbricals Quadratus plantae Flexor digitorum longus |
| Layer 3 of the intrinsic muscle | Flexor hallucis brevis with sesamoids Flexor digit minimi brevis Adductor hallucis Oblique head |
| Layer 4 of the intrinsic muscles | Interossei Peronues longus Tibialis posterior |
| What artery and nerve supplies the plantar foot? | Lateral and medial plantar nerves supply the plantar foot Posterior tibial artery branches off into medial and lateral plantar arches which supply the blood |
| What happens if the foot arches are damaged/weakened | Can predispose the patient to pes planus ( flat foot ) |
