| What bones does the cuboid articulate with? | calcaneus, 4-5 metatarsals | ||||
| How many cunieforms are there and what are their names? | 3, medial/intermediate/lateral | ||||
| What is the largest and strongest bone in the foot? | calcaneus | ||||
| What can cause a Romeo's fracture and what bones does this involve? | falling or jumping from a height, involves the calcaneus. | ||||
| What attaches to the calcaneal tuberosity? | achille's tendon | ||||
| What is the sustentaculum tali? What bone is it on? | it is a shelf that supports the lateral talar head and allows for gliding of tendons that pass beneath it./ On the calcaneus | ||||
| What is the function of the fibular trochlea of the calcaneus? | it serves as a pulley for the fibularis(peroneus) longus | ||||
| How many metatarsals/phalanges are there? | 5/14 | ||||
| What fascia is a continuation of fascia lata of thigh, and attaches to med and lat malleoli? | crural fascia | ||||
| The crural fascia attaches to the tibia and fibula via _____. | IM septa | ||||

| What separates lateral and posterior compartments of lower leg? | Posterior IM septa | ||||
| What separates the superficial and deep posterior compartments of the lower leg? | transverse IM septa | ||||
| What prevents tendons of anterior compartment from bowstringing during dorsiflexion and connects tibia to fibula proximal to malleoli? | Superior extensor retinaculum | ||||
| This is the “Y” shapped fascia that attaches laterally to anteriosuperior surface of the calcaneus and forms a loop around tendons of the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius muscle. | Inferior extensor retinaculum | ||||
| This runs between the lateral malleolus and the calcaneus. | superior fibular retinaculum | ||||
| This runs between the calcaneus tubercle and the fibular trochlea. | inferior fibular retinaculum | ||||

| What is found in the deep posterior compartment? | FDL, posterior tib, FHL, popliteus; Post tibial a & v; Tibial n; fibular a & v | ||||
| What is the most frequently fractured long bone? | The tibia | ||||
| The common fibular(peroneal) nerve originates from what spinal nerves? | posterior branches of L4-S2 | ||||
| Where does the common fibular nerve seperate from the tibial nerve? | at the apex of the popliteal fossa | ||||
| The common fibular nerve bifurcates into what two nerves? Where does this bifurcation take place? | Deep and Superficial fibular(peroneal)/ behind the neck of the fibula | ||||
| What muscles are innervated by the deep fibular(peroneal) nerve? | anterior tib, EHL, EDL, EDB, Peronius tertius | ||||
| Deep fibular nerve is responsible for sensation to what area? | web space between 1-2 toes | ||||
| What muscles are innervated by the superficial fibular(peroneal) nerve? | Peroneus longus/brevis & lateral sural cutaneus | ||||
| Superficial fibular nerve is responsible for sensation to what area? | lower lateral leg and dorsum of foot | ||||
| The lateral sural cutaneus nerve provides sensation to what area? | upper lateral leg | ||||
| What kind of joint is the ankle joint? | synovial hinge joint | ||||
| The articular capsule of the talocrural joint is weak where? Because of the weak capsule what does this area depend on for stability? | anteriorly/muscles and ligaments | ||||
| What are the ligaments of the medial ankle?(4) | anterior/posterior tibiotalar, tibionavicular, tibiocalcaneal | ||||
| What are the ligaments of the lateral ankle?(3) | anterior/posterior talofibular, calcaneofibular | ||||
| The talocrural joint receives its blood supply from what arteries? | anterior/posterior tibial arteries and fibular(peroneal) artery. | ||||
| The talocrural joint receives its innervation from what nerves? | Deep/Superficial fibular(peroneal) nerve, tibial nerve, sural nerve | ||||
| a limb-threatening and life-threatening condition observed when perfusion pressure falls below tissue pressure in a close anatomic space...what is this? | compartment syndrome | ||||
| What can develop from tibial fracture and/or tight casting, burns, and/or infection. | compartment syndrome | ||||
| What produces a severe pain out-of-proportion to the injury? | compartment syndrome | ||||
| This is characterized by a significant weakness of ankle and toe dorsiflexion; Ex: the toes drag and the foot hangs. | Foot Drop | ||||
