sesamoid bone within the peroneus longus at this location referred to as an os peroneum. Three cuneiform bones have distal articulations with the rst, second, and third metatarsals and con­tribute to the formation of part of the tarsometa­tarsal or Lisfranc’s joint (Fig.15.5). The middle cuneiform bone is shorter axially, adding to greater stability in the second tarsometatarsal joint. This is also known as the keystone.
The forefoot consists of the metatarsal and phalangeal bones. Five metatarsals terminate dis­tally with articulations to the proximal phalanges creating metatarsal phalangeal (MTP) joints. The fth metatarsal has a prominent styloid process proximally to which the peroneus brevis attaches dorsally, and the lateral band of the plantar fascia attaches on the plantar aspect. Each of the lesser toes, two through ve, has three phalanges—a proximal, middle, and distal phalanx—and the hallux has only two phalanges, proximal and dis­tal. Each distal phalanx terminates in a tuft of bone and serves as an anchor for the toe pad. Underlying the rst MTP joint are the two sesa­moid bones. Tibial (medial) and bular (lateral) sesamoid bones are encased by the exor hallucis

Ligaments

The ligamentous structures of the ankle joint (Fig. 15.6) include the medial deltoid ligament complex and the lateral ankle ligament complex.
Cuboid
Calcaneus
The deltoid ligament medially has both supercial and deep components and is the primary contribu­tor to medial stability of the ankle joint. The super­cial component is responsible for the majority of the strength of the deltoid ligament. The lateral ligament complex consists of three major liga­ments including the anterior talobular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneobular ligament (CFL), and the posterior talobular ligament (PTFL). These contribute to lateral stability of the ankle joint.

Ligaments of the ankle syndesmosis include the anterior tibiobular, posterior tibiobular, and interosseous ligaments. Injuries to these liga­ments may occur with hyperdorsiexion and external rotation, creating a “high-ankle sprain” which is seen especially in athletes. Ligamentous support of the subtalar joint is contributed by the CFL, the ligaments of the anterior capsule, the posterior subtalar joint capsule, the interosseous talocalcaneal ligaments, and the ligaments of the tarsal canal. The midfoot joints are stabilized by multiple ligaments as well as the intrinsic bony architecture of the wedge-shaped cuneiform bones. Little motion occurs through the midfoot. Stabilizing ligaments include the bifurcate liga­ment and a V-shaped structure composed of the
terior structure running from the lateral malleolus across the posterior border of the tibial plafond.

lateral calcaneonavicular and medial calcaneocu­boid ligaments. They insert on the anterior pro­cess of the calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid bones, respectively. Supercial and deep plantar ligaments span from the calcaneus to the cuboid bone and metatarsals. These serve as static stabi­lizers of the longitudinal arch. Another important structure is the plantar aponeurosis (or plantar fascia). This thick brous structure runs from the plantar surface of the calcaneus to distally insert into the metatarsals. It stabilizes the arch during gait (Fig. 15.7). There is no true transverse interosseous ligament between the rst and sec­ond metatarsal bases. Instead, there is an oblique plantar ligament that connects the rst cuneiform bone to the second metatarsal. It is known as

Muscles
The muscles of the leg are encased in four leg compartments: the supercial and deep posterior compartments, the lateral compartment, and the anterior compartment. The supercial posterior compartment includes the gastrocnemius, the plantaris, and the soleus muscles. This compart­ment houses the main plantar exors of the ankle (Fig.15.8) that are innervated by the tibial nerve. The tendon bers of the soleus merge with the gastrocnemius tendon bers to form the tendo calcaneus or Achilles tendon. The Achilles ten­don rotates 90° to insert on the posterior-superior tuberosity of the calcaneus. The deep posterior compartment contains three muscles which invert the foot and serve as secondary plantar exors. These muscles are the tibialis posterior muscle, the exor digitorum longus (FDL) muscle, and the exor hallucis longus muscle. The lateral compartment, innervated by the supercial pero­neal nerve, contains the peroneus longus and

peroneus brevis muscles, the main evertors of the foot. The deep peroneus longus muscle courses distally underneath the cuboid to insert on the base of the rst metatarsal and medial cuneiform bone. The peroneus brevis inserts on the base of the fth metatarsal. The anterior leg compart­ment contains the tibialis anterior, the extensor hallucis longus (EHL), and the extensor digito­rum longus (EDL) muscles. These muscles serve as the primary dorsiexors of the ankle and foot. These muscles are innervated by the deep pero­neal nerve.
The intrinsic muscles of the foot are arranged in four plantar layers and there is a single dorsal muscle, the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB). The EDB is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve. The rst supercial layer of the intrinsic plantar muscles includes the exor digitorum brevis (FDB), the abductor hallucis, and the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscles. The sec­ond layer contains the muscles for toe motion and includes the quadratus plantae and lumbrical muscles as well as the tendons of the FHL and FDL.The third layer includes the exor hallucis brevis, abductor hallucis, and the adductor hallu-

terminal branches of the sciatic nerve which arises from the lumbosacral plexus. The common pero­neal nerve from L5 branches into the supercial peroneal nerve and deep peroneal nerve. The supercial peroneal nerve courses through the lat­eral compartment and exits the lateral compart­ment approximately 10–15 cm above the lateral malleolus through a fascial defect and continues subcutaneously to provide sensory innervation of the dorsal aspect of the foot and toes.

nates as a cutaneous nerve in the rst web space. The tibial nerve, a branch of S1, travels through the popliteal fossa into the deep posterior com­partment. It courses medial to the Achilles tendon, enters the tarsal tunnel just posterior to the medial malleolus, and divides into the median and lateral plantar nerves. The medial and lateral plantar nerves supply motor and sensory function to the plantar aspect of the foot. The sural nerve is a sen­sory branch of the tibial nerve and provides sensa­tion to the posterolateral hindfoot and lateral border of the foot. The saphenous nerve courses along the anteromedial aspect of the lower limb posterior to the greater saphenous vein and pro­vides sensation to the medial side of the ankle.
Vascular supply to the foot and ankle is derived from the anterior and posterior tibial arteries and peroneal arteries. The anterior tibial artery becomes the dorsalis pedis in the foot. The posterior tibial artery divides into the medial plantar artery and lat­eral plantar artery to supply the plantar structures in the foot. The peroneal artery branches from the posterior tibial artery and travels posterior to the interosseous membrane, deep to the FHL muscle, terminating at the distal tibiobular joint.
The major structures of the venous system of the leg include the greater saphenous vein and the lesser saphenous vein. The greater saphenous vein courses anteromedial to end in the femoral vein. It drains the dorsum of the foot. The lesser saphenous vein runs posterior to the bula and drains the lateral foot and arch.

Gait Cycle

The gait cycle consists of one heel strike to the next heel strike of the same foot. It is traditionally divided into a stance phase that makes 62% of the cycle and the swing phase that makes the remain­ing 38% of the cycle. At initial heel strike, the lower extremity is in internal rotation. The ankle joint is plantar exed, and the subtalar joint is everted. The transverse tarsal joint is unlocked to allow shock absorption. Anterior compartment muscles are active in helping decelerate the limb. At foot at, the lower extremity externally rotates, the ankle joint dorsiexes, and the subtalar joint begins to
invert. This increases stability throughout the mid­foot in anticipation of push- off. Anterior compart­ment muscles become inactive. Intrinsic muscles of the foot become active, and the posterior com­partment calf muscles are contracting. At pre­swing, the ankle joint is in plantar exion.
Clinical Evaluation oftheFoot andtheAnkle
History andPhysical Examination
A complete medical and surgical history, the mechanism of injury, and the duration of the symptoms should be elicited. The location and quality of pain should be documented. Existing systemic disorders should be ruled out with an emphasis on diabetes and gout. Musculoskeletal history involving the spine and lower extremities is helpful. A physical examination should be done with both stockings and shoes removed. Gait patterns should be determined, with the patient walking both toward and away from the examiner. The stance phase or station should be examined with emphasis placed on the relation­ship of the hindfoot with the forefoot and longitu­dinal arch. Once inspection has been completed, examination of the bony and soft tissue structures follows. The area should be examined for the presence of edema, effusion, skin temperature changes, and previous sites of surgery or trauma. Systemic examination can be divided into the ankle, hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot subgroups. When examining the ankle, note any effusion. Range of motion of the ankle is normally 20° of dorsiexion and 40–50° of plantar exion. Loss of ankle dorsiexion may be associated with a tight Achilles tendon, posterior capsular contrac­ture, or bony impingement. Limitation of dorsi­exion with the knee in full extension that improves passively with the knee exed to 90° indicates a contracture of the gastrocnemius mus­cle. This is diagnosed clinically with the Silfverskiöld test, where the examiner compares ankle dorsiexion in knee full extension and 90° exion. Ligamentous laxity should be evaluated in comparison with the contralateral ankle joint
15 The Foot andAnkle
and palpation of the tendons should be performed to note evidence of subluxation or dislocation. Midfoot examination involves selective palpation of the bony anatomy to isolate specic joint or joint involvement. Forefoot examination should include MTP joint motion with any documenta­tion of subluxation and pain.
Pulses and sensation are vital to the evalua­tion. Both the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial artery should be documented for strength and quality. Sensation evaluation should document intact levels in all nerve distributions around the foot, for pin, light touch, and vibratory. In addi­tion, the Semmes–Weinstein monolament test is applied in the diabetic patient to quantitate pro­tective sensation. A failed test at the 5.07 level indicates a loss of sensation and signies a risk for skin ulceration.
Radiology oftheFoot andAnkle
373
Radiographic studies of the foot and ankle require weight-bearing X-rays when possible. Important views involve the anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and oblique views of the foot and AP, lateral, and mortise views of the ankle. The AP view of the foot can be used to assess forefoot and midfoot pathology. The lateral view of the foot shows the relationship of the talus and calcaneus to that of the midfoot, forefoot, and ankle joint. The medial oblique view is used to evaluate the lateral tarso­metatarsal joints. Other studies are available to assess the sesamoids, the calcaneus, or the subta­lar joint. The sesamoid view involves the X-ray beam directed tangential to the plantar surface of the sesamoid region, while the patient’s toes are in hyperextension. Harris axial heel view is used to assess the calcaneal tuberosity and is impor­tant in calcaneus fractures or tarsal coalitions. Ancillary radiographic studies include computed tomography (CT) (Fig. 15.9), magnetic reso­nance imaging (MRI), and radionuclide studies. MRI can be used to assess soft tissue structures such as soft tissue tumors, osteomyelitis, avascu­lar necrosis, bone tumors, chondral lesions, liga­mentous injuries, and tendon abnormalities. CT is best to assess bone abnormalities including

Diseases oftheFoot andAnkle
This overview of the pathologic states that affect the foot and the ankle is discussed by diagnostic category. This is not meant to be an exhaustive catalog of every afiction but rather a representative sampling of the more common dis­ease states that mandate medical care.

Trauma

Ankle
Injuries of the ankle mortise include pilon fractures, ankle fractures, and syndesmotic injuries.

P. S. Cooper et al.
Pilon Fractures
Pilon fractures involve the intraarticular fractures of the tibial metaphysis which extend to the weight-bearing portion of the tibia (Fig.15.10). There is often extensive comminution. Nondis­placed pilon fractures may be treated nonopera­tively with immobilization in a cast; however, since these are often displaced injuries, treatment consists of some type of operative xation. Ini­tially and temporarily, an ankle-spanning exter­nal xator may be applied to maintain length and ankle joint reduction until soft tissue swelling subsides within 1–2 weeks. At that point, open reduction and internal xation using screws and a plate can be done. In high-energy injuries with soft tissue compromise, external xation may be the denitive treatment.
Ankle Fractures
Ankle fractures are discussed in the trauma chapter.
Syndesmosis Injuries
With disruption of the syndesmotic ligaments, a diastasis, or separation, of the distal tibia and
bula can occur (Fig.15.11). This injury is often associated with higher grades of ankle fractures when medial stability is compromised by a medial malleolar fracture or a deltoid tear. Den­itive diagnosis of a syndesmotic injury can be made with stress X-rays which show a diastasis at the distal tibial and bular joint. If this exists, reduction and stabilization of the syndesmosis are achieved with screw placement, or exible xation, across the tibial and bular joint or tibial and bular syndesmosis. The transsyndesmotic screw should remain in place for a minimum of 12–16weeks and is then removed, most exible xation techniques no longer require subsequent removal.
Fractures totheHindfoot
Fractures of the hindfoot involve the calcaneus, talus, and navicular bones.
Talus Fractures
The talus articulates with the ankle, calcaneus, and navicular bones and is covered by articular cartilage on 60% of its surface (Fig.15.12). Since the majority of the talus is covered by articular

cartilage and there are no muscle or tendinous attachments, there is limited space for blood ves­sels to enter this bone, making the blood supply tenuous. The blood supply enters the talus at the neck and travels retrograde into the body and the dome (Fig.15.13). Fractures of the talus, depend­ing upon the severity, can often disrupt this blood supply. Fractures of the talus typically occur through the neck and result from an acute dorsi­exion injury. Standard radiographs with CT scans are usually adequate to demonstrate the nature of the fracture. Treatment is tailored to restore normal talar anatomy. If nondisplaced, conservative nonsurgical treatment with cast immobilization can be used. If displaced, often anatomic reduction and rigid xation is the best

approach. This is done in an effort to prevent avascular necrosis which can result as a disrup­tion of the tenuous blood supply. Hawkins’ clas­sication of talar neck fractures categorizes these fractures into three patterns (Fig.15.14): Type I is a nondisplaced fracture of the neck, type II is a displacement of the neck fracture with sublux­ation or dislocation of the talar body from the subtalar joint, and type III is a neck displacement fracture with subluxation or dislocation of the body from both the ankle and the subtalar joints. A fourth pattern, which has been described, involves a displaced neck fracture which includes dislocation of the talonavicular joint. The inci­dence of avascular necrosis increases signi­cantly with each increase in type. Radiographic signs of intact vascularity of the talus are demon­strated by the crescent or “Hawkins” sign at 8–10weeks out from injury.
Calcaneus Fractures
The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Fractures are classied as intraarticu­lar or extraarticular (Figs. 15.15 and 15.16). Calcaneus fractures are often seen when an axial load is applied to the foot, resulting from falls or motor vehicle accidents. Patients typically pres­ent with severe pain and swelling. Radiographs including the axial heel view in addition to CT scanning can fully dene the injury. Closed treat-
