ANKLE AND FOOT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
ANKLE & FOOT • Walking and running require the foot to be both pliable and rigid. • It must be pliable to absorb stress and to conform to various configurations of the ground. • It must be rigid to withstand large propulsive forces. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGY Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
BONES, JOINTS, & REGIONS OF THE ANKLE Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
NAMING THE JOINTS AND REGIONS • The term ankle refers primarily to the talocrural joint: the articulation among the tibia, fibula, and talus. • The term foot refers to all the tarsal bones, and the joints distal to the ankle. • Three regions of the foot: • Rearfoot (hindfoot) – talus, calcaneus, and subtalar joint • Midfoot – remaining tarsal bones, transverse tarsal joint, and smaller distal intertarsal joints • Forefoot – metatarsals, phalanges, and all joints distal to and including the tarsometatarsal joints. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
FIBULA • Long and thin • Lateral and parallel to the tibia • The shaft transfers only 10% of body weight through the leg • Fibular head – lateral to the lateral condyle of the tibia • Lateral malleolus – pulley for tendons of the fibularis (peroneus) longus and brevis. • Articular facet for the talus Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
DISTAL TIBIA • The distal end of the tibia expands to accommodate loads transferred across the ankle • Medial malleolus • Articular facet for the talus • Fibular notch • The distal end of the tibia is twisted externally around the longitudinal axis by about 20 – 30 degrees – lateral tibial torsion Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGIC FEATURES OF THE FIBULA AND DISTAL TIBIA • Fibula • Head • Lateral malleolus • Articular facet (for the talus) • Distal Tibia • Medial malleolus • Articular facet (for the talus) • Fibular notch Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
DISTAL END OF THE RIGHT TIBIA, RIGHT FIBULA, AND TALUS Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
TARSAL BONES • Seven tarsal bones • Talus • Calcaneus • Navicular • Medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform • Cuboid Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGIC FEATURES OF THE TARSAL BONES • Talus • Trochlear surface • Head • Neck • Anterior, middle, and posterior facets • Talar sulcus • Lateral and medial tubercles • Calcaneus • Tuberosity • Lateral and medial processes • Anterior, middle, and posterior facets • Calcaneal sulcus • Sustentaculum talus Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGIC FEATURES OF THE TARSAL BONES • Navicular • Proximal concave (articular) surface • Tuberosity • Medial, Intermediate, & Lateral Cuneiforms • Transverse arch • Cuboid • Groove (for the tendon of the fibularis longus) Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
SUPERIOR (DORSAL) VIEW OF RIGHT FOOT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
INFERIOR (PLANTAR) VIEW OF RIGHT FOOT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
MEDIAL VIEW OF RIGHT FOOT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
LATERAL VIEW OF RIGHT FOOT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
TALUS • Most superiorly located bone of the foot • Forms part of the talocrural joint • 70% of the talus is covered with articular cartilage Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
SUPERIOR VIEW OF TALUS FLIPPED LATERALLY Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
CALCANEUS • The largest of the tarsal bones • Accepts the impact of heel striking the ground during walking • Calcaneal tuberosity – receives attachment of the Achilles tendon • Sustenaculum talus lies under and supports the middle facet of the talus (shelf for the talus). Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
NAVICULAR • Named for its resemblance to a ship • Proximal surface articulates with the talus • Distal surface articulates with the three cuneiform bones Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
MEDIAL, INTERMEDIATE, AND LATERAL CUNEIFORMS • Cuneiform (Latin root meaning “wedge”) • Spacer between the navicular and bases of the three medial metatarsal bones • Contribute to the transverse arch of the foot Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
CUBOID • Six surfaces, three of which articulate with adjacent tarsal bones • Articulates with 4th and 5th metatarsal bones Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
RAYS OF THE FOOT • A ray of the foot is functionally defined as one metatarsal and its associated set of phalanges Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
METATARSALS • Five metatarsal bones link the distal tarsal bones with the phalanges • Numbered 1 – 5 starting with the medial side • Plantar surface of the 1st metatarsal has two facets for sesamoid bones • Fifth metatarsal bone has a styloid process for attachment of the fibularis brevis muscle Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGIC FEATURES OF A METATARSAL • Base (with articular facets for articulation with the bases of adjacent metatarsals) • Shaft • Head • Styloid process (on the fifth metatarsal only) Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
PHALANGES • The foot has 14 phalanges • The first toe, great toe or hallux has two phalanges Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
OSTEOLOGIC FEATURES OF A PHALANX • Base • Shaft • Head Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
ARTHROLOGY • Major joints of the ankle • Talocrural • Subtalar • Transverse tarsal joints Dr. Michael P. Gillespie

FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT DEFINITIONSAPPLIED MOVEMENT DEFINITIONS Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE JOINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANKLE • From an anatomic perspective, the ankle includes one articulation: the talocrural joint. • An important structural component of this joint is the articulation formed between the tibia and fibula. This articulation is reinforced by the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints and the interosseous membrane of the leg. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
PROXIMAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT • Located lateral to and immediately inferior to the knee. • Synovial joint (diarthrosis) Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT • The articulation between the medial surface of the distal fibula and the fibular notch of the tibia. • Syndesmosis • Interosseus ligament is an extension of the interosseus membrane and forms the strongest bond between these bones. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
ANTERIOR-LATERAL VIEW RIGHT DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
POSTERIOR VIEW RIGHT ANKLE Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
TALOCRURAL JOINT • The articulation of the trochlea (dome) and the sides of the talus with the cavity formed from the distal end of the tibia and both malleoli. • Called the mortise joint due to its resemblance to the wood joint used by carpenters. • 90 – 95% of the forces pass through the talus and tibia. 5 – 10% pass through the talus and fibula. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
LIGAMENTS OF THE DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT • Interosseous ligament • Anterior tibiofibular ligament • Posterior tibiofibular ligament Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
LIGAMENTS • A thin capsule surrounds the talocrural joint. • Reinforced by collateral ligaments. • Medial collateral (deltoid) ligament – broad and expansive • Lateral collateral ligament Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
DISTAL ATTACHMENTS OF THE THREE SUPERFICIAL SETS OF FIBERS WITHIN THE DELTOID LIGAMENT • Tibionavicular fibers attach to the navicular, near its tuberosity. • Tibiocalcaneal fibers attach to the sustentaculum talus. • Tibiotalar fibers attach to the medial tubercle and adjacent part of the talus. Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
MEDIAL COLLATERAL (DELTOID) LIGAMENT Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
THREE MAJOR LIGAMENTS OF THE LATERAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENTS OF THE ANKLE • Anterior talofibular ligament • Calcaneofibular ligament • Posterior talofibular ligament Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
