the subtalar joint

amount of depression of the posterior facet
What is the subtalar joint
the articulation of the calcaneous with the talus
What are the superior articular surface facets
posterior
middle and anterior facets
What are the location of the articular facets of the talus and calcaneous
posterior facet is the largest and is the major weight bearing surface
middle facet is anteromedial on sustentaculum tali
anterior facet is often confluent with middle facet
The facets of the ankle, subtalar, and talocalcaneonavicular joints. A, Diagram of the talus from above to show the three-surfaced trochlea that fits into the mortise formed by the lower ends of the tibia and fibula. B, Diagram of the calcaneus from above to show the posterior facet (P) for the subtalar joint, separated by the canalis and sinus tarsi from the middle (M) and anterior (A) facets of the talocalcaneonavicular joint. The socket of this latter joint is completed by the spring ligament and the concavity of the navicular. C, Diagram of the talus from below to show its corresponding facets for the subtalar and calcaneonavicular joints. Cf. fig. 12-36. A broad arrow in A emphasizes that the head of the talus is directed anteromedially

What are the 3 landmarks that are used in boehlers angle

Posterior facet of the subtalar joint
posterior tuberosity
boehlers angle
What is a normal boehlers angle

no
What demographic gets calcaneal fxs
runners
What portion of the calcaneous typicaly gets stress fx
posterior/dorsal aspect
What are the plain film findings
2-4 wks normal
then sclerotic band will form
What 2 studies will be more sensitive for detecting stress fx in general
bone scan and MRI
What should the lateral border of the first metatarsal line up with
the lateral boder of the first (medial) cuneiform
anatomy of foot
What is the normal anatomic relation of the 2nd metatarsal
the medial border of the 2nd metatarsal should align with the medial border of the 2nd cuneifom
What is the normal anatomic relation of the 3rd metatarsal and cuneiform
the medial and lateral border of the 3rd metatarsal should align with the medial and lateral borders of the 3rd (lateral) cuneiform.
What is the normal anatomic relationship of the 4th toe
the medial border of the 4th metarsal should align with the medial border of the cuboid
What is the normal anatomic alignment of the lateral margin of the 5th metatarsal
the 5th metatarsal styloid should project lateral to the cuboid by less than 3mm (OBLIQUE VIEW)
