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 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:

Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
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

Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
13
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.

Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
39
PROXIMAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT
Located lateral to and immediately inferior to the
knee.
 Synovial joint (diarthrosis)

Dr. Michael P. Gillespie
40
DISTAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT
The articulation between the medial surface of
the distal fibula and the fibular notch of the tibia.
 Syndesmosis
 Interosseus ligament is an extension of the
interosseus membrane and forms the strongest
bond between these bones.

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.

Dr. Michael P. Gillespie

46
DISTAL ATTACHMENTS OF THE THREE
SUPERFICIAL SETS OF FIBERS WITHIN THE
DELTOID LIGAMENT
Tibionavicular fibers attach to the navicular,
near its tuberosity.
 Tibiocalcaneal fibers attach to the sustentaculum
talus.
 Tibiotalar fibers attach to the medial tubercle
and adjacent part of the talus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Clinical Signs and Symptoms
Intermittent paresthesia of plantar aspect of foot
 Pain on foot inversion and / or eversion of the foot
 Pain radiating to posterior / medial aspect of the leg
 Pain made worse by activity and improved by rest

TARSAL TUNNEL
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.

Tinel’s Foot Sign
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.

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.
