Foot Bones
What are the two tarsal bones that make up the rear foot?
Talus & calcaneus
This ligament is on the medial side of the ankle
Deltoid
Injured commonly with an eversion ankle sprain
Responsible for dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle
Increase in pressure of the muscles in the lower leg due to a direct blow
Acute compartment syndrome
Talus
This is injured in a high ankle sprain
Syndesmosis
Fracture of the base of the 5th metatarsal
Jones fracture
The two muscles of the superficial posterior compartment
Gastrocnemius and soleus
Common injury due to overuse, bad shoes, sudden increase in mileage
Stress fracture of the tibia
These are the longest bones in the foot
Metatarsals
This ligament connects the fibula and calcaneus
Calcaneofibular (CF)
This heel bone could fracture from landing too hard from a high jump onto concrete
Calcaneus
The four muscle compartment of the lower leg
Anterior, lateral, superficial posterior, deep posterior
A high ankle sprain is an injury to this tissue
Syndesmosis
The number of tarsal bones
7
This ligament is the most commonly injured in a lateral ankle sprain
Anterior talofibular (ATF)
Pain with active range of motion but no pain with passive range of motion
This muscle is the only two-joint muscle in the ankle/lower leg
Gastrocnemius
This bone bears 20% of body weight
Fibula
List the tarsal bones
Talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms (middle, intermediate, lateral)
This ligament runs from the posterior talus to the lateral malleolus
Posterior talofibular
Pain with passive and active range of motion, no point tenderness
Sprain
These muscles originate and insert only on the foot
Intrinsic (foot) muscles
Second largest bone in the body
Tibia
