ANATOMY OF

FOOT AND ANKLE


Osteology

 Consisting of 7 os tarsal,
5 os metatarsal, and 14
phalanges.
 Divided into 3:
 hindfoot( talus and
calcaneus),
 midfoot (navicular,
cuboid, and 3 cuneiforms),
and
 forefoot (metatarsal and
phalanges)
Tarsal
 Consist of os talus, calcaneus, cuboid, navicular,
cuneiforms (media, intermediate, & lateral)
Metatarsal
 Consist of 5 bones. numbered I-V from medial to
lateral direction
 Their shape and function are similar to those of the
metacarpals of the hand
Phalanges
 shape and function are similar to those of the hand
 Great toe has 2 phalanges, the others has 3
phalanges
Joints of the Ankle/Foot
 Talocrural Joint-joint in the ankle
found between the tibia, fibula, and
talus. Dorsi/plantar flexion
 Subtalar Joint-joint in the ankle found
between the talus and calcaneus.
 Mid-tarsal joint (Chopart’s).
This joint is really two joints - the joint
between the talus and the navicular
bone as well as the joint between the
calcaneum and the cuboid bone.
Ligament of the ankle joint

 Inferior tibiofibular joint is


the syndesmosis joint.
 Anterior inferior tibiofibular
 Posterior inferior
tibiofibular
 Inferior transverse ligament
 Interosseous ligament
Ligament of the ankle joint
 Medial collateral ligament (deltoid)
Delta shape, Very strong
 Anterior tibiotibiotalar
 Tibionavicular superfisial
 Tibiocalcaneal
 Posterior tibiotalar  deep
 Lateral collateral ligament
 Anterior talofibular
 Calcaneofibular
 Posterior talofibular
Art. intertarsal
 Supported by several ligament:
 Interroseus talocalcaneal(cervical)
 Calcaneocuboid/calcaneonavicular(bifurcate)
 Calcaneocuboid-metatarsal(long plantar)
 Plantar calcaneocuboid(short plantar)
 Plantar calcaneonavicular(spring)
 Tarsometatarsal(lisfranc)
Arches
 Ligaments in foot & ankle
maintain arches
 Two longitudinal arches
 Medial longitudinal arch - extends
from calcaneus bone to talus,
navicular, 3 cuneiforms, and
proximal ends of 3 medial
metatarsals
 Lateral longitudinal arch - extends
from calcaneus to cuboid and
proximal ends of 4th & 5th
metatarsals
 Transverse arch
 extends across foot from 1st metatarsal
to the 5th metatarsal
Function of arches of the foot
 Support and divide the body weight about equally
between the calcaneus and the heads of the metatarsal
bones
 Propel the body in walking or running
 Allow the long flexor and the muscle of the foot to act on
the bones of the fore part of the foot and toes (take-off
part) and greatly assist the propulsive force of
gastrocnemius and soleus muscle
 Shock absorption
 Adapt to changes when walking on uneven surfaces
Tarsal tunnel
 formed on the posteromedial side of the ankle by:
 a depression formed by the medial malleolus of the tibia,
 the medial and posterior surfaces of the talus,
 the medial surface of the calcaneus, and
 the inferior surface of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus;
 an overlying flexor retinaculum
Plantar Fascia

very dense organized layer of deep


fascia that runs down the middle of
the sole  plantar aponeurosis.

The plantar aponeurosis is thought


to help maintain the medial
longitudinal arch of the foot.
Foot Muscles – Plantar Surface
 Superficial (First)
Layer
 Abductor Hallucis
 Abductor Digiti Minimi
 Flexor Digitorum
Brevis
Foot Muscles – Plantar Surface

 Middle (second) Layer


 Quadratus Plantae
 Lumbricales
 flexor digitorum
longus tendon,
 flexor hallucis longus
tendon.
Foot Muscles – Plantar Surface

 Deep (third) Layer


 Flexor Hallucis Brevis
 Adductor Hallucis
 Transverse and Oblique
Heads
 Flexor Digiti Minimi
Foot Muscles – Plantar Surface

 Interosseus (fourth)
Layer
 Plantar Interossei
 Dorsal Interossei
Foot Muscles – Dorsal Surface
 Extensor Digitorum
Brevis
 Extensor Hallucis Brevis
Artery and Nerve

 Blood supply of the foot is from :


1-anterior tibial artery  dorsalis pedis artery.
2-posterior tibial  the medial and lateral plantar
arteries.
3- peroneal arteries.
 Nerve supply of the foot:
tibial, sural, superficial & deep peroneal
Nerves of Foot and Ankles
 Tibial nerve
splits into 2 branches under
the flexor retinaculum
(medial and lateral plantar
nerves)
Nerves of Foot and Ankles
1. Medial plantar nerve
Runs deep to the abductor hallucis. It
innervate plantar sensation to the medial 3,5
digits and motoric sensation of view plantar
muscles (flexor hallucis brevis, abductor
hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, 1st lumbrical)
2. Lateral plantar nerve
Runs obliquely under the cover of the
quadratus plantae. It innervate lateral 1,5 digits
and the remaining intrinsic muscles (quadratus
plantae, abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti
minimi brevis, adductor hallucis, interossei,
2nd-4th lumbrical)
Nerves of Foot and Ankles
 Common peroneal nerve
 Splits into the superficial and deep
branches in the leg
 Lateral terminal branch of the deep
peroneal nerve innervate EDB
muscle and the medial supplies
sensation to the first web space
 The medial and intermediate
dorsal cutaneus nerves of the
superficial peroneal nerve supply
the bulk of the remaining sensation
to the dorsal foot
Nerves of Foot and Ankles
 The medial dorsal cutaneus
nerve crosses the EHL from
lateral to medial direction and
supplies sensation to the
dorsomedial aspect of the
great toe
Blood supply of Talus
 Artery of tarsal canal
 Deltoid artery
 Direct superomedial arteries
 Artery of tarsal sinus
 Direct posterior arteries
Vessels of Foot and Ankles
 Dorsalis pedis artery
 Continuation of the anterior
tibial artery
 Vascularize dorsum of the foot
via its lateral tarsal, medial
tarsal, arcuate, and first dorsal
metatarsal branches
 Deep plantar artery runs
between the first and second
metatarsal and contributes to
the plantar arch
Vessels of Foot and Ankles
 Posterior tibial artery
 Divides into the medial
and lateral plantar
branches under the
abductor hallucis muscle
 The larger lateral branch
receives the deep plantar
artery and forms the
plantar arch in the fourth
layer of the plantar foot
Veins
 The deep veins follow the arteries.
 Superficial veins drain into a dorsal
venous arch on the dorsal surface of
the foot over the metatarsals
 the great saphenous vein originates
from the medial side of the arch and
passes anterior to the medial malleolus
and onto the medial side of the leg;
 the small saphenous vein originates
from the lateral side of the arch and
passes posterior to the lateral malleolus
and onto the back of the leg.
