EXAMINATION OF THEFOOT AND ANKLE Dr. Mohammed Zaheer Dalati Senior Registrar Department of Orthopaedics College of Medicine King Khalid University Hospital
Objectives • Review anatomy of Foot and Ankle. • Discuss key history • Hands on exam • Discuss cases concerning common injuries of the Foot and Ankle
History • Onset • Duration • Mechanism • Swelling / Ecchymosis • Ambulation • Hx of previous injury
2 PARTS: 1- ERECT POSITION. 2-SUPINE POSITION.
Inspection. Palpation. Movements. Special tests.
INSPECTION OF THE PATIENT’S GAIT: Evaluation of the walking cycle GAIT ANALYSIS
STANCE PHASE 65% • Contact Period - heel strike to forefoot loading • Midstance Period - forefoot loading to heel raise • Propulsive Period - heel raise to toe off • SWING PHASE 35%
Stance phase GAIT ANALYSIS
INSPECTION: POSTERIOR HEEL STANDING
ALL THE TOES SHOULD BE IN GROUND CONTACT IN W.B.(stability of the foot on the ground)
INSPECTION: of the L.L Any asymmetry of length, rotational problem, or mal alignment of the lower limbs.
INSPECTION: - Deformity, swelling, skin changes, muscle wasting, asymmetry of length, abnormal position…. INSPECT ALL ARROUND
INSPECTION: PLANTAR SKIN callosity
Palpation: Bone and joints Soft tissues
Anatomical landmarks: -Medialmalleolus, lateral malleolus, Achilles tendon, calcaneal tuberosity, peroneal tendon, tibialis posterior tendon, tibialis anterior tendon, plantar fascia, base of 5th metatarsal, 1st MP joint, metatarsal heads……..etc
PALPATION: Tenderness, swelling, deformity…. Knowing the anatomy:
MOVEMENTS: Ankle: -dorsiflection -plantar flection. Subtalar: -inversion -eversion. Midtarsal: -pronation -supination Tarso-metatarsals: move the metatarsals one by one. Toes:
SUBTALAR: MOVEMENT: MOVE THE HEEL: Inversion---eversion
