Name the ligament marked A
Posterior TibioFibular Ligament
Name Structure C
The Navicular Bone
This muscle predominantly dorsiflexes the ankle, but also inverts it:
Tibialis Anterior
A volleyball player lands on a teammates foot after attempting a block. Her foot lands into inversion and there is palpable pain on the distal end of the lateral malleolus. She is also unable to weightbear. What is the likely injury
Lateral Ankle Fracture
What is structure A in this picture of a high ankle sprain?
Interosseous Membrane
This clinical decision rule helps determine whether an ankle or foot injury may need X-rays based on bone tenderness and the ability to take four steps.
Ottawa Rules
Name Structure E
Intermediate / Middle Cuneiform
Name structure A
Metatarsals
This muscle dorsiflexes the foot, but mainly influences the big toe:
Extensor Hallucis Longus
A runner develops a broad area of pain along the inner edge of the shin after increasing training. What condition is this?
Medial tibial stress syndrome, or shin splints
An athlete’s big toe is forced upward while the foot is planted, spraining the joint at its base. What injury is this?
Turf Toe
Stabilizing the lower leg while pulling the heel forward (Anterior Drawer) tests for injury to which ligament
Name the ligament marked B
Posterior Talofibular Ligament
What bone joints with the distal Tibia and Fibula to joint the Talocrural Joint?
The Talus
This muscle lifts up toes 2-5
Extensor Digitorum Longus
What is the name of structure B in this picture of a high ankle sprain?
Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament
When this foot shape bears weight, the arch is low or collapses toward the ground. What is it called?
Pes Planus or Flat Feet
This test could assess either the Calcaneofibular ligament or the deltoid ligament, depending on the application of inversion or eversion.
Talar Tilt
What is the name of the ligament structure that supports the medial side of the ankle?
The Deltoid Ligament
Name Structure D
The Cuboid
These muscles work together to bring the ankle into EVERSION
Fibularis Longus and Brevis
After rolling an ankle into inversion, and athlete is able to weightbearing, but notes swelling, pain and discoloration. what injury is likely indicated?
Lateral ankle sprain
The big toe angles toward the other toes, creating a prominent bump near the base of the toe. What condition is this?
Hallux Valgus or a bunion
The dorsiflexing and externally rotating the ankle (Kleiger's) will test for what kind of injury?
Syndesmosis / High Ankle Sprain
Name the ligament marked C
Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament
This nerve passes behind the medial ankle and divides into the medial and lateral plantar nerves.
The Tibial Nerve
The main plantarflexor of the foot that also helps with knee flexion.
Gastrocnemius
Someone has pain under the heel that is often worst with the first steps after getting out of bed. What condition is this?
Plantar Fasciitis or fasciopathy
Repeated rubbing from footwear creates a small pocket of fluid beneath the skin. What is this?
Blister
Compressing the Tibia and Fibula together can produce pain, which would indicate what injury?
Syndesmosis / High Ankle Sprain
This nerve supplies the lateral compartment muscles that evert the foot.
The Superficial Fibular Nerve
Name the ligament marked D
Anterior Talofibular Ligament
The tibialis posterior mainly functions in which 2 movements?
Plantarflexion and Inversion
A soccer athlete lands awkwardly on the turf, turning the ankle into eversion. What ligament could be torn as a result of this mechanism?
Deltoid ligament
Repeated pressure or friction causes a broad patch of thickened, hardened skin. What is this?
a callus
What injury does the Thompson test evaluate when squeezing the calf?
Ruptured Achilles Tendon
What bone sits below the Talus?
The Calcaneous
Name Structure B
Phalanges
Curling the toes would require which muscle?
Flexor Digitorum
Compartment Syndrome.
The edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing soreness and sometimes redness or swelling. What is this?
an ingrown toenail
In the Windlass Test, extending the toe could produce pain which would indicate what injury/condition?
Plantar Fasciitis.
All lower leg nerves stem from which nerve?
The Sciatic Nerve
This nerve supplies muscles that dorsiflex the ankle and extend the toes.
The Deep Fibular Nerve
This muscle solely acts to plantarflex the foot.
The Soleus
Repeated loading and jumping leads to an athlete complaining of pain and achiness in the posterior lower leg, just above the calcaneus. The athlete is able to weight bear and walk, but notices the discomfort returning during exercise and sometimes at rest. What injury is indicated?
Achilles Tendinitis / Tendinopathy
An athlete feels a sudden pop in the back of the ankle and has is unable to push off the ground. What injury should be suspected?
Achilles Tendon Rupture
In a positive Matle's test, a patient who is lying prone with both knees flexed would notice the affected foot in a plantarflexed position. this would indicate what injury?
Achilles Tendon Rupture.
