What's injured in Pott's fracture?
A force hits lateral side of leg, causing eversion. The fibula breaks, the ankle joint dislocates, and deltoid ligament tears OR medial malleolus avulses.
What do the superior extensor retinaculum and inferior extensor retinaculum do?
Prevent tendons from moving out of place during dorsiflexion.
what muscles are in the ANTERIOR compartment?
Tibialis anterior (dorsiflexor and invertor), extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, peroneous tertius muscles

(Main action is dorsiflexion)
What innervates anterior compartment?
Deep peroneal nerve
Drop foot - what causes it? what are symptoms?
Cause: damage to deep peroneal/fibular nerve.

Symptoms: High steppage gait where foot is lifted higher than normal to prevent toes from scraping across ground. Cannot DORSIFLEX.
Origins and insertions of tibialis anterior
Tibia/interosseus membrane

Medial cuneiform and 1st metatarsal
Extensor hallucis longus: origins and insertions
Anterior compartment muscle
Origin: fibula/interosseus membrane
Insertion: Distal phalanx of big toe
Extensor digitorum longus: origins and insertions
Anterior compartment muscle
Origin: fibula/interosseus membrane/tibia
Insertion: Middle and Distal phalanges of toes 2-5 via extensor expansion
Peroneus tertius:origins and insertions
Origin: Fibula, anterior intermuscular septum

Insertion: Base of 5th metatarsal
What does the tibialis anterior artery become?
Dorsalis pedis artery, midway between malleoli
How to test for integrity of deep peroneal nerve?
1) Dorsiflexion
2) Cutaneous sensation at juntion of bases of 1st and 2nd toes
what muscles are in LATERAL compartment?
Peroneus longus and Peroneus brevis.

They plantar flex and evert the foot.
What is the nerve supply to the LATERAL compartment?
Superficial peroneal nerve
Peroneus longus: origins and insertions
Origin: Upper fibula
Insertion: Medial cuneiform and 1st metatarsal

Tendon is very long and passes behind lateral malleolus, across sole of foot DEEP TO plantar ligament

Acts to evert the foot.
Peroneus brevis: origins and insertions
Origin: Fibula
Insertion: Tuberosity of 5th metatarsal.

Stronger abductor than peroneus longus. Found DEEP to peroneus longus.
When does the common peroneal nerve branch? What do the branches innervate?
Either before or after it penetrates the posterior intermuscular septum.

Deep peroneal : anterior compartment
Superficial peroneal: lateral compartment
Does the superficial peroneal nerve have a companion artery?
NO
What path does the superficial peroneal nerve take?
Goes between peroneus longus and brevis
What is the vasculature of the lateral compartment?
Perforating branches of the anterior tibial and peroneal arteries
Muscles on dorsum of foot?
Extensor hallucis brevis
Extensor digitorum brevis

Innervated by deep peroneal nerve
Extensor hallucis brevis:origins and insertions
Origin: calcaneus
Insertion: proximal phalanx of big toe

Extends big toe
Extensor digitorum brevis: origins and insertions
Origin: calcaneus
Insertion: toes 2-4
What is the vasculature of the dorsum of the foot derived from?
Dorsalis pedis
Muscles of SUPERFICIAL POSTERIOR compartment
Gastrocnemius (med and lat heads), Soleus, Plantaris
Muscles of DEEP POSTERIOR compartment
Tibialis posterior, Flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, popliteus
Gastrocnemius: origins and insertions
origins: above medial and lateral condyles of femur
insertions: calcaneus

Plantar flexes the foot.
Soleus: origins and insertions
origins: fibula/soleal line of tibia
insertions: calcaneus

Plantar flexes the foot
Popliteus: origins and insertions
origins:Femur/lateral meniscus
insertions: tibia
What muscle unlocks the knee by laterally rotating femur?
Popliteus
When the knee is in full extension, what direction is the femur rotated?
Medial
What nerve innervates posterior compartment?
Tibial
Flexor digitorum longus: origins and insertions
Origin: tibia
Insertion: Distal phalanges toes 2-5

FLEXES these toes
Flexor hallucis longus: origins and insertions
Origin: Fibula
Insertion: Distal phalanx of big toe
Tibialis posterior: origins and insertions
Origin:Fibula, interosseus membrane, tibia
Insertion: all tarsal bones except talus and calcaneus
What is the action of the tibialis posterior?
Inverts and adducts foot
Tendo calcaneus: what muscles form this tendon?
Can be thought of as the combined tendon of the soleus and gastrocnemius
What artery goes along with the tibial nerve to supply the posterior compartment?
Posterior tibial artery
What artery supplies the anterior compartment?
Anterior tibial artery (Deep to tibialis anterior)
What is strange about the flexor hallucis longus?
Although it arises LATERALLY from the fibula, it crosses medially to insert on the big toe.
What passes under the sustentaculum tali?
Flexor hallucis longus
What does the quadratus plantae do?
Joins the flexor digitorum longus to straighten out its pull
What does the tibial nerve branch into? What does these innervate?
Branches into the medial and lateral plantar nerves.
What does the popliteal artery split into?
The popliteal artery (actually a continuation of the femoral artery) <b> trifurcates</b> to become the anterior and posterior tibial arteries and peroneal artery.
What are the tarsus bones?
Calcaneus, talus, cuboid (lateral), first-third cuneiforms, navicular (medial)
What is the arrangement of the 5 things that pass behind the medial malleolus?
TOM DICK AN HARRY
From lateral to medial:
Tibialis posterior; flexor Digitorum longus; posterior tibial Artery; tibial Nerve; flexor Hallucis longus
What is the true ankle joint?
Talo-crural joint.

Only talus articulates with tibia and fibula here.
What is the spring ligament?
Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament

Head of talus articulates with navicular anteriorly and calcaneus posteriorly
