Question | Answer |
purpose of the groove of the cuboid | peroneus/fibularis longus runs along this grove to the plantar aspect of the 1st MT and medial cuneiforms |
location of the groove for the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) | 1. on the medial aspect of the calcaneus, posterior the sustentaculum tali |
location and purpose of the sesamoid bones | located on the plantar aspect of the 1st MT head. purpose to reduce the pressure on the FHL |
where does the talus, tibia and fibula articulate? | trochlear surface of the anterior portion of the talus |
where is the peroneal/fibular trochlea located? | on the lateral aspect of the calcaneus posterior calcaneocuboid jt |
what groove is located under the peroneal/fibular trochlea? | groove for the peroneus/fibularis longus |
What is the fibular notch? | It is a notch on the lateral, distal portion of the tibia where the fibula fits in with the tibia and articulates. |
Where is the groove for the FHL on the tibia? | on the medial, distal aspect of the tibia. more medial the groove for the posterior tibialis |
Where is the groove for the semimebranosus? | on the medial, proximal portion of the tibia, the groove is located below the medial tibial plateau |
Where is the groove for the tibialis posterior/FDL? | on the distal portion of the tibia, just lateral of the groove for the FHL |
What is the importance of the Gerdy's Tuberacle and where is it located? | located on the anterior, lateral condyle. It is the distal attachment of the Iliotibial Band (IT Band). |
What attach onto the tuberacles of the intercondylar eminense? | menisci and primary ligaments of knee |
Where is the soleal line and what is it's purpose? | a ridge located on the first third of the posterior aspect of the tibia. attachment for the soleus, FDL and tibialis posterior |
the flexors (medial) and peroneals (lateral) use these as levers | lateral and medial malleoli |
What is the importance and where is the tibial tuberosity? | It is located on the anterior portion of the tibia, inferior the condyles (the neck). the patella tendon distally attaches to the tuberosity |
Where is the apex (styloid process) of the fibula and what attaches to it? | most superior portion of the fibula. the LCL and biceps femoris attach to this process. |
Where is the groove for the peroneals on the fibula? | just lateral of the malleolus fossa on the distal portion of the fibula. |
What is the name of the articulation between the calcaneus and talus? | subtalar jt. |
What is the name of the articulation between the calcaneus, talus, and navicular? | Talocalcaneonavicular jt |
What bones articulate in the tarsometatarsal jt? | the tarsal bones articulate with the metatarsal bones |
What two sets of articulation are in the transverse tarsal jt? | calcaneocuboid and talonavicular jts |
