Key facts about the ankle and foot
Ankle anatomy Ankle joint: inferior surfaces of tibia and fibula, superior surface of talus
Movements: dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, eversion, inversion
Ankle ligaments: medial collateral, deltoid, lateral collateral ligaments.
Bones of the foot Tarsals: proximal (talus, calcaneus), intermediate (navicular), distal (cuboid
cuneiforms) bones. Mnemonic for tarsals: Tiger Cubs Need MILC
Metatarsals: connect the tarsals and phalanges
Phalanges: great toe consists of two phalanges (proximal, distal), the remain
four toes have three phalanges (proximal, middle, distal)
Joints of the foot Intertarsal: subtalar (talocalcaneal), talocalcaneonavicular, calcaneocuboid,
cuneonavicular, cuboideonavicular, intercuneiform joints.
Tarsometatarsal: articulations between the tarsals and metatarsals
Metatarsophalangeal: connect the metatarsals with the proximal phalanges
Interphalangeal: great toe has one interphalangeal joint, other four toes hav
(proximal, distal) interphalangeal joints
