Inversion +30

Eversion +15

Term
What makes up the transtarsal joint?
Definition

Between 2 sets of bones

Talonavicular and Calcaneocuboid joints

Term
What makes up the tarsometarsal joints?
Definition

Bases of the first through fifth metatarsal with tarsal bones

1st with medial cuneiform

2nd with intermediate cuneiform

3rd with lateral cuneiform

4th with cuboid

Term
What are the arches of the foot?
Definition

Medial

Lateral

Transverse

Term
What structures are involved in the Transverse arch?
Definition

Cuboid

Navicular

Three cuneiforms

Proximal metatarsals

Fibularis (Peroneus) Longus 

tibialis anterior

Term
What are the structures of the Lateral Longitudinal Arch?
Definition

Calcaneous

Cuboid

Forth and fifth metatarsals

Long plantar ligament

 

Term
What are the structures of the medial longitudinal arch?
Definition

Talus

Navicular

Three cuneiforms

Proximal first metatarsal

Plantar fascia 

Tibialis posterior muscle tendon

Term
Plantar Fascia Origin
Definition
Medial tubercle of the calcaneus
Term
Plantar Fascia Insertion
Definition
Proximal phalanges and the flexor tendon sheaths
Term
What is the function of the plantar fascia?
Definition
shock absorber as well as medial arch support
Term
Morton's Neuroma
Definition
thickening of tissue around a nerve between the 3rd and 4th toes leading to pain and numbness
Term
Hallux Valgus (Bunions)
Definition

tight fitting shoes leading to a bony growth

First metatarsal deviates medially while big toe deviates laterally

Term
Hammertoes
Definition
narrow toe box forces the smaller toes into a bent position, becoming difficult to treat overtime because muscles will not be able to straighten leading to chronic contracture
Term
What is the movement of the fibular head during eversion of the ankle?
Definition
Anterior to the tibia with distal portion posterior
Term
What is the movement of the fibular head during inversion of the ankle?
Definition
Posteriorolaterally while the distal portion is anterior
Term
What is the most common fibular head dysfunction?
Definition
Posterior fibular head
Term

Gracilis

Semitendinous 

Term
What ligament does the Pes Anserine Bursa lie over?
Definition
Medial Collateral Ligament
Term
What is the most common injured ligament in the ankle?
Definition
Anterior Talofibular ligament
Term
Which compartment of the leg is most affected in compartment syndrome?
Definition
Anterior
Term
What are the 4 ligaments of the femoroacetabular joint?
Definition

Iliofemoral ligament

Ischiofemoral ligament

Pubofemoral ligament

Definition
Deep Knee Pain, especially when climbing stairs
Term
What is the function of the ACL?
Definition
Prevent anterior movement of the tibia in relation to the femur
Term
What is the function of the PCL?
Definition
Prevent posterior movement of the tibia in relation to the femur
Term
What are common causes of plantar fascitis?
Definition

Poor arch support

Sudden weight gain - pregnancy
