Study Notes
Foot Functions
- Two main functions:
- Support body weight
- Act as a lever for walking and running
Foot Zones
- Three anatomical and functional zones:
- Hindfoot
- Midfoot
- Forefoot
Arches of the Foot
- Three types of arches:
- Medial longitudinal
- Lateral longitudinal
- Transverse
Sole Muscles
- Two main groups:
- First layer
- Abductor hallucis
- Flexor digitorum brevis
- Abductor digiti minimi
- Second layer
- Quadratus plantae
- Lumbricals
- Flexor digitorum longus tendon (passes through the tarsal tunnel)
- Flexor hallucis longus tendon
- Flexor hallucis brevis
- Third layer
- Adductor hallucis
- Flexor digiti minimi
- Interossei
- Fourth layer
- Dorsal interossei (4)
- Plantar interossei (3)
- Fibularis longus tendon
- Tibialis posterior tendon
- First layer
Muscles of the Ankle
- Key muscles
- Tibialis Posterior
- Flexor Digitorum longus
- Flexor Hallucis Longus
Arteries of the Foot
- Major artery: Tibial Artery
Tibial Nerve
- Often called the "Toms Dick And Nervous Harry" nerve
- Provides innervation to muscles and skin of the foot
Hip Joint (Coxal Joint):
- Synovial ball and socket joint
- Articulation between head of femur and acetabulum
- Two groups of ligaments:
- Intracapsular:
- Ligamentum teres
- Transverse acetabular ligament
- Extracapsular:
- Iliofemoral ligament (strongest, inverted Y-shaped)
- Pubofemoral ligament (triangular)
- Ischiofemoral ligament (spiral orientation)
- Intracapsular:
Hip Joint: Nerve and Artery Supply
- Nerves:
- Femoral nerve
- Obturator nerve
- Sciatic nerve
- Arteries:
- Medial circumflex femoral artery (MAJOR, damage can cause avascular necrosis)
- Lateral circumflex femoral artery
Hip Joint: Movements
- Flexion:
- Iliopsoas
- Rectus femoris
- Sartorius
- Pectineus
- Extension:
- Gluteus maximus
- Semimembranosus
- Semitendinosus
- Biceps femoris (hamstrings)
- Abduction:
- Gluteus medius
- Gluteus minimus
- Sartorius
- Tensor fascia latae
- Adduction:
- Adductors longus, brevis, magnus
- Pectineus
- Gracilis
- Lateral rotation:
- Biceps femoris
- Gluteus maximus
- Piriformis
- Obturators
- Gemelli
- Quadratus femoris
- Anterior fibres of gluteus medius and minimus
- Medial rotation:
- Tensor fascia latae
Trendelenburg Sign
- Indicates weakness or paralysis of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles
- Causes the pelvis to tilt downward on the contralateral side when standing on one leg
Knee Joint
- Hinge joint (Hyaline cartilage)
- Composition:
- Femoral condyle
- Patella (kneecap)
- Tibial plateau
- Patellar tendon (connects patella to quadriceps muscle)
Knee Joint Intra-articular Structures
- Menisci:
- Medial meniscus
- Lateral meniscus
- Collateral ligaments:
- Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
- Prevents excessive abduction
- Attaches to medial epicondyle of femur and tibia
- Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
- Prevents excessive adduction
- Attaches to lateral epicondyle of femur and fibula
- Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
- Cruciate ligaments:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- Prevents anterior displacement of the tibia
- Attaches to lateral condyle of femur and tibia
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
- Prevents posterior displacement of the tibia
- Attaches to medial condyle of femur and tibia
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Knee Joint Clinical Correlation
- Forced abduction of the knee often tears the MCL
- Forced adduction of the knee often tears the LCL
Shapes and Structures
- Acetabulum: Horseshoe shaped
- Medial meniscus: C shaped
- Iliofemoral ligament: Y shaped
- Pubofemoral ligament: Triangular
Surface Anatomy
- Four regions:
- Gluteal
- Thigh

- Talus, calcaneus, navicular, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, cuboid
"Tiger Cub Needs MILC" Mnemonic
- Remember the tarsal bones:
- Talus, Calcaneous, Navicular, Medial cuneiform, Intermediate cuneiform, Lateral cuneiform, Cuboid
