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.

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. 12

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

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

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.

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.

LIGAMENTOUS INSTABILITY

Ligaments Anterior and posterior talofibular, anterior

tibiofibular, and deltoid ligaments. If any of these ligaments are torn, the tibia

can separate from the fibula and the talus may become unstable.

Common mechanism of injury is a supination or inversion force.

Page 54: 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.

LIGAMENTOUS INSTABILITY

The foot turns under the ankle after walking or running on uneven surfaces or when landing on an inverted foot after a jump.

The most common injured ligament is the anterior talofibular ligament.

Ligament laxity can lead to chronic ankle sprains.

TRANSVERSE TARSAL JOINT (TALONAVICULAR AND CALCANEOCUBOID JOINTS)

The transverse tarsal joint, also known as the midtarsal joint, consists of two anatomically distinct articulations: the talonavicular joint and the calcaneocuboid joint.

These joints connect the rearfoot and midfoot.

Pronation and supination occurs at this joint to a great extent.

MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH OF THE FOOT

This arch is evident as the “instep” of the medial side of the foot.

This arch is the primary load bearing and shock absorbing structure of the foot.

The bones that form the arch are the calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms, and associated three medial metatarsals.

Additional supports include plantar fat pads, plantar fascia, and sesamoid bones.

PES PLANUS – “ABNORMALLY DROPPED” MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH

Pes planus or “flatfoot” describes a chronically dropped or abnormally low medial longitudinal arch.

Often results from joint laxity and an overstretched or weak plantar fascia.

Flexible ples planus appears normal when unloaded, but drops when loaded.

TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the posterior tibial nerve becomes entrapped in its tunnel as it passes behind the medial malleolus to enter the foot.

The tunnel can be compressed either intrinsically or extrinsically.

Space-occupying lesions account for 50% of the cases.

Page 98: 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.

TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Direct trauma and repetitive dorsiflexion account for a significant portion of the remaining cases.

A severe flat foot can unduly stretch the posterior tibial nerve.

Other possible causes include: fracture callus, ganglion of the tendon sheath, lipoma, engorged venus plexus, and excessive pronation of the hind foot.

Tinel’s Foot Sign

Procedure: Tap over the posterior tibial nerve with a neurological reflex hammer.

Rationale: Paresthesias radiating to the foot indicate irritation of the posterior tibial nerve that may be caused by constriction at the tarsal tunnel.

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE

Achilles tendon rupture generally occurs in adults aged 30 to 50.

It is usually spontaneous in athletes who account for most of these injuries.

Decreased vascularity of the Achilles tendon as the patient ages may contribute.

Page 104: 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.

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE

Mechanism of injury - forced dorsiflexion of the foot as the soleus and gastrocnemius contract.

Rupture occurs 2 to 6 cm from the insertion of the Achilles tendon into the calcaneus.

As the proximal aspect of the tendon retracts, there is usually a palpable defect of the tendon.

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE

Clinical Signs and Symptoms Severe posterior ankle pain Inability to stand on toes Posterior leg and heel swelling Posterior leg and heel ecchymosis

Thompson’s Test

Procedure: Patient prone. Flex knee. Squeeze the calf muscles against the tibia and fibula.

Rationale: The the gastrocnemius and soleus are squeezed, they mechanically contract. They are attached to the Achilles tendon, which plantar-flexes the foot. If the tendon is ruptured, contraction of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles will NOT plantar-flex the foot.
