Ankle Injury Diagnosis

Ankle Injury

• Patient experienced a minor hesitancy in using their right ankle after landing on the lateral surface while skateboarding one month ago.
• Patient is not comfortable jumping on that foot on its own.

Associated Bones

• Not specified, but the ankle joint is formed by the connection of the tibia, fibula, and talus bones.

Articulating Surfaces

• Not specified, but the ankle joint consists of the trochlea of the talus bone and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula bones.

ROM Rules Out

• Not specified, but ROM (Range of Motion) rules out other possible causes of ankle pain.

Myotomes/Dermatomes that would affect this joint

• Not specified, but the ankle joint is innervated by the L4-S1 nerve roots.

Ankle Range of Motion (ROM)

• Flexion: degree of motion not specified
• Extension: degree of motion not specified
• Inversion: degree of motion not specified
• Eversion: degree of motion not specified

Flexion Movement

• Prime movers: not specified, but likely the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles
• Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the tibia and fibula bones
• Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the talus and calcaneus bones
• Innervation: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
• Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots

Extension Movement

• Prime movers: not specified, but likely the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles
• Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the femur bone
• Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the calcaneus bone
• Innervation: not specified, but likely the S1-S2 nerve roots
• Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the S1-S2 nerve roots

Inversion Movement

• Prime movers: not specified, but likely the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscles
• Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the medial aspect of the tibia and fibula bones
• Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the talus and navicular bones
• Innervation: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots
• Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L4-L5 nerve roots

Eversion Movement

• Prime movers: not specified, but likely the peroneus longus and brevis muscles
• Proximal attachment: not specified, but likely the lateral aspect of the fibula bone
• Distal attachment: not specified, but likely the cuboid and metatarsal bones
• Innervation: not specified, but likely the L5-S1 nerve roots
• Nerve roots: not specified, but likely the L5-S1 nerve roots

A patient has an ankle injury from a skateboarding accident and is hesitant to use it. The quiz aims to diagnose the issue and accelerate the healing process.
