DIPJ dorsiflexion
Term
What is a claw toe?
Definition
Sagittal plane
MTPJ Dosiflexion
PIPJ Plantarflexion
DIPJ Plantarflexion
Term
What does EDL do during the swing phase and end at heel contact?
Definition
Dorsiflexion have the slips slit and insert into middle and distal phalanges.
Term
Where does EDB insert to?
Definition
Into fibrous expansions on the long extensor tendon at the level of the MTPJ at second, third and fourth digits.
Term
What is the character of extensor hood apparatus?
Definition
At the level of MTPJ, its medial and lateral fibers unite plantarly with capsule, deep transverse metatarsal ligament, the flexor tendon shealth, thereby functional inserting into the MTPJ.
Term
How strong EDL and EDB pull on the joints?
Definition
Strongly dorsiflex at MTPJ, but weakly at PIPJ and DIPJ, and lead to claw toes
Term
How does Claw toes move during swing phase?
Definition
toes do not claw due to plantarflexory stabilizaiton of the MTPJ by the lumbricals
Term
Where does FDL insert to and work on that?
Definition
on the distal phalanx and causing plantarflexion of MTPJ and IPJs
Term
Where doese FDB insert to and how does it work?
Definition
insert into the middle phalanx and cause plantarflexion of MTPJ and PIPJ
Term
How does hammer toes form?
Definition
FDB pull the middle phalanx against the ground resulting in passive extension of the DIPJ
Term
What is the most common cause of the digital deformity?
Definition
Flexor stabilization, intrinsic muscle, which are also supinators of the midfoot, may become fatigued in the pronated foot.
Term
What is the least common cause of digital deformity?
Definition
Flexor substitution, in the case, flexor able to work over the interossei when the deep posterior and lateral muscle attempt to substitue for a weak triceps surae muscle
Term
Which is chosen between flexor and extensor FDB arthroplasty to treat hammer toes?
Definition
Correcting flexor-induced hammer toes by effectively shortens the distance of origin to insertion of the FDL and FDB, thereby causing weakness of the flexor tendons.
Term
What is the additional procedure need to be done along with correcting extensor digital deformity arthroplasty?
Definition
often required extensor tendon release
Term
When is arthroplasty is used?
Definition
For rigid or semirigid deformities caused by overpowering of the flexor tendons.
Or elongated digits can be corrected.
Term
When is arthrodesis used over arthroplasty?
Definition
when there are significant deforming forces, particular when all digits are involved. By converting the toe to a rigid lever arm, the FDL and FDB tendons are able to provide plantarflexory stability at the MTPJ, augmenting the intrinsic muscles, thereby eliminating flexor-induced dorsiflexion of the MTPJ by retrograde buckling of the toe
Term
Interphalangeal arthrodesis is required procedure when multiple digital procedures are required by maintaining structural stability of the toes
Definition
Interphalangeal arthrodesis is indicated in those patients with flexor and extensor-induced deformities
Term
What is the flexor tendon transfer?
Definition
transferring the FDL and FDB tendons dorsally to the proximal phalanx functionally converts the flexor tendons into plantarlfexors of the MTPJ during weight-bearing
Term
When is flexor tendon transfer used?
Definition
used when all digital deformities with a flexible PIPJ, has a similar mechanical effect as arthrodesis of the PIPJ
Term
When is Extensor tenotomy used for?
Definition
For mild , flexible extensor hammer toes to remove deforming extensor forces, and used in conjunction with a more distal osseous procedure
Term
Medial and lateral tubercles attachment of
Definition
collateral ligs and metatarsoglenoid
suspensory ligs
Term
groove for capsule attachment
Definition
groove for flexor tendons plantarly
Term
Distal phalanx supports the geminal
Definition
matrices of the overlying nail
Term
distal interphalangeal joint
Definition
is ginglymus joint
Term
plantar plate
Definition
thick fibrocartilagenous structure
Absorbs compressive load of WB (provides cushion)
Stabilizes lesser MPJ's plantarly
Term
plantar plate
Definition
the main stabilizing force of the MPJ

Inserts distally on the proximal phalanx
and proximally on the plantar fascia
Term
Plantar plate dysfunction
Definition
toes off stress
chronic hyperextension
rupture with subluxation
dislocation
hammer toe
Term
Collateral ligaments
Definition
second most powerful stabilizer of the
MPJ's
Term
There are collateral ligaments and plantar plates at the PIPJ's and DIP's
Definition
Term
Accessory collateral ligament
Definition
Phalangeal collateral ligament
Plantar plate
Term
Deep transverse metatarsal ligament
Definition
Plantar metatarsophalangeal ligament
Term
Plantar plate/Extensor sling
Definition
Extensor sling helps keep the tendon in
a central position
The tendon is not attached to the proximal phalanx dorsally, but via the sling plantar
Action to dorsiflex the proximal phalanx
Acts to extend the PIPJ only when the proximal phalanx is flexed or in neutral
Term
Anterior tibial tendon
Definition
retinaculum
Term
Extensor digitorum longus
Definition
Extensor hallucis longus
Extensor hallucis capsularis
Term
EDL and EDB function in the propulsive phase of gait to
Definition
stabilize the proximal phalanx against
the metartarsal heads
Term
Extensor hood
Definition
sling and wing
Term
hood apparatus is part
Definition
of the sling mechanism, which wraps around the proximal phalanx and can lift the PP like a sling
Term
Extensor function
Definition
Related to intrinsic function
Through the hood dorsiflexes the MPJ &
thus causes the PIPJ to plantarflex
Extension of the PIPJ only occcurs when the MJP is held in flexion by the intrinsics
If the intrinsics don;t function we see PF of the PIPJ
Term
The extensor function
Definition
The interosseous tendons are dorsal to tranverse metartarsal ligament and lumbricles are plantar. Both are plantar to the MTPJ axis and aid in plantarflexion
Term
Interossei
Definition
Four dorsal
Three plantar
Sagittal stability
Dorsal to the Deep Transverse Metatarsal Ligament
Term
Dorsal and Plantar Interossei
Definition
Directly attach to the base of the proximal phalanx
Stabilizers on the sagittal plane
Weakly attach to the extensor wing
If interossei can't plantarflex the MPJ's then the extensor cannot dorsiflex the IPJ's
Term
Lumbricles
Definition
Origin off the FDL tendon
Deep to the intermetattarsal ligament
Excessive pull of the FDL creates increase tension in the lumbricles, further potentiating their action on the middle and distal phalanx
Term
Lumbricles function
Definition
Plantarflex the toe at the MTPJ
Extended the IPJ
Term
Flexor Aparatus (brevis)
Definition
Origin from the calcaneus
Insertion middle phalanx
Fifth toe variable
Flexes the PIPJ
Term
Flexor plate
Definition
Flexor Cap Apparatus
Term
Cause of MPJ Hyperextension?
Definition
Mucle imbalance?
Paralysis of intrinsics
Pronated foot-requires greater intrinsic activity to stabilize the STJ & MTJ

Age related elongation of the plantar plate
Term
Etiology
Definition
Static stability of MPJ plantar plate
Dynamic stabillity of MPJ extrinsic & intrinsic muscles
The ability of the intrinsics & extrinsics to stabilize is dependant on the integrity of the plantar plate
Imbalance b/w the strong extrinsics
Term
Etiology
Definition
With MPJ in neutral or flexed extensors can dorsiflex the MPJ through the extensor hood apparatus
However with rupture of the plantar plate the proximal phalanx is in a DF positioin and the extensors cannot extend the PIPJ or DIPJ
Term
Etiology
Definition
FDL & FDB are efficient PF of PIPJ & DIPJ but inefficient at MPJ.
On WB they stabilize the toes against the ground.
Thus the flexors cannot stabilize a dorsally subluxed toe.
Term
Etiology
Definition
Interossei provide most of the flexion at MPJ.
With dorsal migration of MPJ these interossei migrate dorsal to axis of the MPJ losing their mechanical advantage to PF
Term
Etiology
Definition
Lumbricles stabilize the IPJ's in the extended position and maintain the MPJ's in plantarflexion during WB.
Like the interossei they lose their normal function when MPJ is dorsiflexed
Term
Other causes
Definition

Shoe-heel heigh, small toes box
Long 2nd metatarsal
