LIgaments of the Ankle
Deltoid Ligament medially: prevents eversion and A-P displacement of tibia

Lateral: Anterior talofibular, posterior talofibular and calcaeofibular prevent excessive inversion and A-P displacement of the fibula
Muscles of the foot
Twelve extrinsic muscles
19 intrinsic muscles
Arterial Supply of the Foot
Popliteal Artery divides in the poplitieal fossa into the anterior and posterior tibial artery

Posterior tibial artery follows same coruse as tibial nerve supplying posterior leg muscles and lateral leg as peroneal artery

Anterior tibial artery supplies anterior compartment of the leg becomes dorsalis pedis

Porstalis pedis and posterior tibial artery are palpated for ankle PE
Venous Return of the Foot
Superficially: small saphenous and Great saphenous

Deep: venae comitantes to the arterial branches in lower extremities

Perforating veins run between deep and superficial veins, valves direct blood into deep veins

pulsations of arteries and large muscles within the LE help move blood up the leg
Arches o the foot
dense connective tissue suspended between calcaneus and 1st and 5th metatarsals. weight distributed along the arches to create a CT pyramid

Longitudinal arches supported by Tibalis posterior ataching to navicular and 1st cuneiform. Transverse arch supported by pereoneus longus, tibalis anterior and shoes.

Medial Longitudinal Arch: Calcaneus, Talus, Navicular, Cuneiforms, and first three metatarsals; Navicular is the keystone.

Lateral Longitudinal Arch: Calcanius cuboid, 4th and 5th metatarsals

Transverse Cuboid Navicular, cuneiforms and proximal ends of the metatarsals
Medial Longitudinal Arch
Calcaneus, Talus, Navicular, Cuneiforms, and first three metatarsals; Navicular is the keystone.

Longitudinal arches medial and lateral supported by Tibalis posterior ataching to navicular and 1st cuneiform.

Most common dysfnx: dropped navicular: head of the talus moves medially on the navicular which drives the medial aspect of the navicular inferiorly.
Lateral Longitudinal Arch
Calcanius cuboid, 4th and 5th metatarsals

Longitudinal arches supported by Tibalis posterior ataching to navicular and 1st cuneiform

Common dysfnx is dropped cuboid, usually 2ndry to talocalcaneal dysfnx w/ Talus anterior and calcanus internally rotated.
Transverse Arch
Cuboid Navicular, cuneiforms and proximal ends of the metatarsals
Foot Diaphragm
Fibrous connective tissue arches of the foot fnx as a diaphragm

weight distributed through 3 equal points like the base of a pyramid

base acts as shock absorber and stabilizer, also pumping action which aids in lymphatic and venous flow
Gait Cycle
Stance Phase 65%

Contact, heel strike to forefoot landing: 27%
Midstance: 40%
Propulsion: heel off to toe off: 33%

Swing Phase 35%
Proper footwear
supportive soft cushion w/ good ventilation. Not too small or narrow, with flexible inner sping arch to permit normal arch descent, heel no greater than 1.5 prevents lumbar lordosis.

primitive people's feet are flat when static and become highly ached iwth action. Modern feet have a pronouned medial longitudinal arch faily static with gait as borner shoes effectively place the foot in a splint
Problems assoc with improper foot wear
Ingrown toenails
Hallux valgus
Achiles tendon contracture
Claw toes and hammer toes
fungal infxn
calluses
metatarsalgia
painful heel
When evaluating the foot and ankle osteopathically
also look at the knee, sacrum, pelvis and lumbar spine
Pes Cavus, Pes Planus
Cavus- abnormally high arch
Planus- Valgus. talar head displaced medially and plantarward.
Hallux Valgus
lateral deviation of big toe
bunion if sesemoid bones drift laterally too (btw 1st & 2nd digits)
Ankle Sprain
Inversion most commmon: order of occurance: ATF, CF, PTF. Evaluate for Jones fx: fx of prximal 5th metatarsal

Type 1: ATF
Type 2 ATF + CF
Type 3: ATF + CTF + PTF

Eversion sprain: deltoid ligament: avulsion fx of medial maleolus. maisonnevue fx. of proximal fibula
Type 1 2 and 3 Ankle Sprains
1: ATF
2 ATF + CF
3: ATF + CTF + PTF
Anterior Drawer Testing the Foot
Primarily Tests anteiro Talofibular Ligament

Positive w/ pain welling and bruishing 96% sensitive and 86% specific

confirm with ultrasound
Ottowa ankle rules
very sensitive to ankle injuries (to justify X ray)

1) Inability to bear weight and take more than 4 steps at time of injury and in ED
2) tender at lateral malleolus
3) tender at medial malleolus
High Ankle Sprains
Squeeze test: tests the anterior tibiofibular ligament/tibiofibular syndesmoisis injury

improtant because longer recovery period
Squeeze test
tests the anterior tibiofibular ligament/tibiofibular syndesmoisis injury: High Ankle Sprains

eversion sprains
medial malleuolus has boney articulation with talus

also deltoid ligament strength

few eversion sprains: when occur occur with fractures:
-Avulsion fx of medial malleolus
maisonnevue spiral fracture of proximal fibula
PRICE
Protection
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Treating Ankle Sprains
No minor ankle Sprains!
Look for SD of fibula and ipsilateral 3rd rib

Tx: PRICE, non weight bearing, tx axial skeleton and diaphragm for venous/lymphatic flow. Treat fibular dysfnx and look for 3rd rib. locally look for S/CS points along with other indirect methods

1-2 weeks later: tx mortise joint and look for cuboid/navicular dysfnx. Tx pelvis
2-3 wks later start proprioceptive balance training
Achilles tendonitis
Pain at insertion Point usually due to improper stretching or increased physical activity

Thompson Test for Rupture
Thompson Test
Squeeze Calve, Foot should plantarflex. Tests for Achilles Tendon Rupture by compressing gastrocnemius.
Posterior tibilalis tendonitis
Posteriormedial ankle/foot pain

progresses to loss of arch, more common in women
can't stand on toes. "Too many toes."

Tx: night splints, PRICE
[exercises, heel cups, OMT, prolotherapy/PRP, orthotripsy]

Cuse caution with steroids.
