Correct Answers | Latest Update
What muscle is actively undergoing eccentric contraction during heel-strike
of stance phase in gait cycle? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tibialis anterior
What muscle attaches on the dorsum of the 5th metatarsal base? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔fibularis tertius
What is the distal attachment for the fibularis longus muscle? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔medial cuneiform, first metatarsal base
What is the distal attachment for the fibularis brevis? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔base
of the 5th metatarsal
,*tibialis posterior attaches to everything (including cuboid, navicular)
What is the proximal attachment for the flexor hallucis brevis? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔lateral cuneiform, cuboid bone
What is the function of the popliteus muscle? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Laterally
rotate the femur
What muscle's tendon wraps around the sustentaculum tali of the
calcaneus? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔flexor hallicus longus
An overweight guy decides he wants to become healthier and lose weight.
He begins an exercise regimen running every day. He presents to your
office complaining of pain in the distal two thirds of the tibia. You diagnose
him with shin splints. What muscle is most commonly involved in this mild
form of compartment syndrome? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tibialis anterior
*due to repeated microtrauma of the TA causing small tears in the
periosteum + deep fascia. Commonly, untrained persons or runners who
do not warm up and cool down ->me, yes I had shin splints back then,
always skipped warmups
,What ligament passes from the calcaneus to the base of the metatarsals? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔long plantar ligament, from calcaneus to groove of
cuboid/bases of metatarsals
*maintains lateral longitudinal arch (prevent flatfeet)
The short plantar (calcaneocuboid) ligament extends from where to where?
- 🧠ANSWER ✔✔calcaneus to inferior surface of cuboid
*also maintains lateral longitudinal arch
The spring ligament (calcaneo-navicular) runs from where to where? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔sustentaculum tali of calcaneus to inferior navicular
*helps in weight transfer from talus, mains medial longitudinal arch
What do the tarsometatarsal ligaments do? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔support TMT
joints by connecting cuneiforms/cuboids to the metatarsal bases

, What direction does the patella most commonly dislocate? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔lateral
*due to weakness of vastus medialis, thus the vastus lateralis is always
stronger
A 27 year old guy presents to the ski patrol office you are staffing after
crashing and hearing a "pop" in his knee. On physical examination, you
notice the tibia glides much further anteriorly on the injured knee without
firm resistance compared to the uninjured knee. The effected knee can also
be taken further into extension. What ligament is most likely injured? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔ACL
*usually ACL prevents posterior turning and travelling of femoral condyles
on tibia as well as resisting posterior displacement of femur on tibia, and
hyperextension.
Telencephalon differentiates into? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔cerebral hemispheres
Meningomyelocele pathology? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔meninges + part of spinal
cord herniates through. More common than meningocele.
