BONES OF THE FOOT AND ANKLE
2
14 Phalanges Distal, middle and proximal phalanges toes(2-5) Great toe (1) Only has Proximal and Distal phalanges 5 4 3 2 1
3
Great toe On the plantar (bottom) surface of the great toe there are sesamoid bones
4
Phalanges Each phalanx is the size it needs to be for weight bearing purposes. Which is the smallest? Largest?
5
Metatarsals There are 5 metatarsals in the foot 1,2,3,4,5 3 1 2 4 5
6
Head and base Each bone has a Head and a base. The head is the superior aspect of the bone and the base in the inferior aspect of the bone in this picture. Head Base
7
The Base of the 5th metatarsal is called Styloid process
Athletic trainers are concerned about this when taping an ankle.
8
3 Cuneiforms 1,2,3
9
Cuboid
10
Navicular
11
Talus
12
Calcaneus- thickest ankle bone
13
There are 7 Tarsals Bones
3 Cuneiforms 1,2,3 Cuboid-connected to 2 metatarsal Navicular-connected to 3 cuneiforms Talus-must PF the ankle to be able to palpate it. Calcaneus-responsible for heel strike
14
Tibia Located on the medial side of the lower leg.
**Femur rests on HEAD of the tibia Medial malleolus-BASE of the tibia Medial malleolus
15
Tibia continued The top of tibia has medial and lateral epicondyles
Tibial tuberosity-bump on superior middle aspect of tibia. The patellar tendon attaches to it.
16
Osgood schlatters A condition where the patellar tendon pulls on tibial tuberosity causing a bump in the lower leg.
17
Severe Osgood Schlatters
18
Fibula Located on the lateral side of the lower leg
Lateral malleolus-BASE of the fibula
19
Common peroneal nerve Wraps around the head of the fibula.
*MUST USE CAUTION WHEN ICING
20
FEMUR THICKEST BONE IN BODY Rests on the tibia.
21
Parts of femur Head-attaches to hip Neck Greater Trochanter
Lesser Trochanter Shaft Medial Epicondyle Lateral Epicondyle
22
Patella Free floating bone located in the middle of the knee
Patellar tendon and quadriceps muscle attach to it.
23
