How many individual phalanges does each toe have?
What are 2 for the first, 3 for 2nd-5th
This is located between the length of the tibia and fibula and helps maintain the integrity of the syndesmosis and talocrural joints
What is the interosseous membrane
Name of the joint that we consider the ankle joint
What is the talocrural joint
If forced too far into inversion, you will most likely damage this ligament (most common one)
What is anterior talofibular ligament
These two muscles are mainly responsible for eversion
What are the fibularis brevis and longus
Two signs/symptoms associated with a low leg contusion
What are swelling, pain, ecchymosis
An injury caused by forced eversion and dorsiflexion or hyper-plantarflexion causing pain over the anterior ankle
What is syndesmosis ankle sprain
This acute injury is associated with gross deformity and extreme pain
What is an ankle dislocation
The muscle that supports the medial longitudinal arch and inserts at the navicular, often associated with MTSS
What is tibialis posterior
Three treatments for medial tibial stress syndrome
What are stretching, heat, ultrasound, strengthening, taping arches, e-stim
Injury that is caused by a forced hyperextension of the great toe
What is turf toe
Names of the tarsal bones
What are 1st cuneiform, 2nd cuneiform, 3rd cuneiform, cuboid and navicular
Name the two ligaments responsible for maintaining integrity at the ankle syndesmosis
What are posterior and anterior tibiofibular ligaments (PITF and AITF)
With a lateral ankle sprain, when would you refer the athlete to a doctor?
What is when there crepitus or bony deformity, signs/symptoms consistent with a fracture
Explain what anterior compartment syndrome is
What is swelling of the anterior compartment of the low leg causing pain and loss of function of those muscles
