|
Definition
1.) tibialis anterior
2.) fibularis tertius |
|
|
Term
| Which nerve is palpable posterior to the fibular head? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The tibial tuberosity serves as a landmark for what two things? |
|
Definition
| bifurcation of the popliteal artery and also the head of the fibula |
|
|
Term
| Which bone contiues more distally, the fibula or the tibia? And which part of that bone is more commonly fractured? |
|
Definition
1.) fibula
2.) distal end of the bone (it is subcutaneous distally) |
|
|
Term
| Is the deep fibular nerve in the anterior compartment of the leb? Is the fibular nerve in the posterior compartment of the leg? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What type of joints are the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints respectively? Which arteries supply each? What nerves supply each? |
|
Definition
1. synovial and syndesmosis (bone united with fibrous sheath)
2. inferior lateral genicular and anterior tibial recurrent supply proximal tibiofular joint. Distal joint is supplied by perforating branch of fibular artery and medial malleolar branch of anterior and posterior tibial arteries.
3.) Proximal tibiofibular joint is innervated by common fibular and popliteus nerves. Distal tibiofibular joint is innervated by deep fibular, tibial, and saphenous nerves. |

|
Term
| Impact from a fender bender or axial loading (fall) or a laterally directed brunt force all may result in what? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg and what are their main actions? Which muscle, when injured is most associated with foot drop? What is the main artery and nerve of this compartment? |
|
Definition
1.) Fibularis tertius dorsiflexes and everts the foot, Extensor hallucis longus extends big toe, Extensor digitorum longus (extends toes 2-5), and Tibialis anterior flexes foot to bring it off the ground.
Tibialis anterior is most associated with foot drop.
3.) anterior tibial artery and deep fibular nerve |
|
|
Term
| What is associated with edema and pain in distal 2/3 of tibia after not warming up? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What nerve is liable to be entrapped after snow skiing, causing pain in dorsum of foot, radiating to webbed spaced between digits 1-2? |
|
Definition
| deep fibular nerve entrapment |
|
|
Term
| What are the muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg & how do they act? What is the primary arterial and nervous supply of these muscles? |
|
Definition
1.) Fibularis longus helps to stablize a person standing on one foot and Fibularis brevis, along with the former, helps to evert the foot.
2.) Lateral compartment does not have its own arterial supply, but gets supplied superiorly by perforating branches of the anterior tibial artery and inferiorly by perforating branches of the fibular artery. The main nerve is the superficial fibular nerve. |
|
|
Term
| What may have occurred after chronic ankle sprains and a feeling of paresthesia on lateral aspect of leg and dorsum of foot? |
|
Definition
| superficial nerve entrapment |
|
|
Term
| What nerve may be injured with foot drop, high stepping gait, a dislocated hip, or a fibular neck fracture? |
|
Definition
| Common fibular nerve injury |
|
|
Term
| What muscle, besides the sartorius, crosses two joints? |
|
Definition
| Gastrocnemius (knee and ankle joints) |
|
|
Term
| What are the muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg & what do they do? |
|
Definition
1.) gastrocnemius helps you long jump; soleus helps you stroll; and plantaris really doesn't do all that much other than donate a tendon for transplants.
2.) the main nerve is the tibial nerve and the main artieries are the circumflex fibular artery and the posterior tibial artery. |
|
|
Term
| what muscles make up the triceps surae? |
|
Definition
| gastrocnemius medial head, gastrocnemius lateral head, and soleus |
|
|
Term
| What has likely happened if ball appears in calf and there is no nerve reflex for S1 or S2 |
|
Definition
| A complete rupture of the calcaneal tendon forms a bells and will not respond to an ankle reflex test (S1 and S2). It will also be difficult to plantar flex and ankle will suddenly dorsiflex |
|
|
Term
| What casues tennis leg, what are the symptoms, and where is it found? |
|
Definition
| Caused by full extension of the knee and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. Symptoms inlcude stabbing pain followed by edema and spasm of calf. Found in medial head of gastrocnemius. |
|
|
Term
| Which pathology can emulate a calcaneal problem, and is associated with pain and edema during prolonged exercise? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the deep muscles of the posterior compartment and how do they act? What is the main nerve and artery of this compartment? |
|
Definition
1.) popliteus contracts to assist the PCL; flexor digitorum longus flexes lateral four digits; flexor hallucis longus helps to push-off for walking, running or jumping; and tibialis posterior helps to flex ankle.
2.) main artery to foot is posterior tibial artery and main artery of posterior compartment of the leg is the fibular artery. The posterior tibial artery anastamoses with the circumflex fibular artery. The main nerve is the tibial nerve (S4-L3) |
|

Term
| A patient that presents with parasthesia, cramping and burning that is worse at night near the flexor retinaculum might have what? |
