    Club Foot: Q: What Are The Arches of The Foot? How They Are Formed?

    Uploaded by

    Morshed Mahbub Abir
    The document discusses the anatomy of the foot, including the arches, ligaments, and other structures. It describes the medial and lateral longitudinal arches, formed by bones in the rear and front of the foot. It also details the anterior and posterior transverse arches across the heads of the metatarsal bones. Several important ligaments are discussed, including the deltoid ligament around the ankle joint and the spring ligament maintaining the medial longitudinal arch. The document concludes by defining the master knot of Henry, a thick fibrous structure surrounding tendons in the foot.

    Q: What are the arches of the foot? How they are formed?
    A) Longitudinal arch:
    a) Medial longitudinal arch
    b) Lateral longitudinal arch
    B) Transverse arch:
    a) Anterior transverse arch
    b) Posterior transverse arch
    Medial longitudinal arch:
    Anterior end Heads of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd metatarsal bone.
    Posterior end Medial tubercle of the calcaneum.
    Summit Superior articular surface of the body of the talus.
    Pillars Anteriorly by the talus, navicular, three cuneiform and first
    three metatarsal bones. Posteriorly by the medial part of the
    calcaneum.
    Main joint Talo-calcaneo-navicular joint.
    Lateral longitudinal arch:
    Anterior end Heads of the 4th and 5th metatarsal bone.
    Posterior end Lateral tubercle of the calcaneum.
    Summit At the level of the subtalar joint.
    Pillars Anteriorly by the cuboid and 4 th and 5th metatarsal bones.
    Posteriorly by the lateral half of the calcaneum.
    Main joint Calcaneo-cuboid joint.
    Anterior transverse arch:
    Formed by the heads of the five metatarsal bones.
    Posterior transverse arch:
    It is incomplete and formed by the greater parts of the tarsus and
    metatarsus.
    Q: What is the deltoid ligament? What are its parts?
    It is the medial ligament of the ankle joint, triangular in shape and is very
    strong.
    It has two parts:
    a) Deep part (Anterior tibio-talar)
    b) Superficial part:
    a. Anteriorly Tibio-navicular
    b. Middle Calcaneo-tibial
    c. Posteriorly Posterior tibio-talar

    Q: What is spring ligament?


    It is also called planter calcaneo-navicular ligament. It is attached
    posteriorly to the anterior margin of the sustentaculum tali and anteriorly
    to the planter surface of the navicular bone. The head of the talus rests
    directly over the upper surface of the ligament. It is the most important
    ligament for maintaining the medial longitudinal arch of the foot.
    Q: What is master knot of Henry?
    It is a very thick and heavy structure made up of fibrous tissue and
    cartilage which extends from the navicular bone around the flexor
    digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus tendons to reattach to the
    navicular bone or fascia of the flexor hallucis brevis. The knot is included
    sometimes in a large mass of scar tissue and cartilage which is partly
    attached to the navicular bone and medial malleolus and may be the
    primary tissue holding the navicular bone in its displaced position.
