Document Summary
Phalanges thickening in fascia: retinacula, superior fibular retinaculum, inferior fibular retinaculum, superior extensor retinaculum, inferior extensor retinaculum, flexor retinaculum: Tarsal tunnel: convers tarsal tunnel found behind medial malleolus: bordered by flexor retinaculum, talus, navicular, sustentaculum. Foot: dorsal, loose fascia over it that allows for expansion for edema, innervated by the deep peroneal nerve (l5-s1, supplied by the dorsalis pedis artery, which is a continuation of the anterior. Tibial artery: plantar, broken into subcompartments by intermuscular septums. Interosseus compartment: only seen in portion under metatarsals. Subcompartments innervated by either the medial plantar nerve (s2-s3) or the lateral plantar nerve (s2-s3), which are branches off of the. Subcompartments are supplied by the medial plantar artery and the. Lateral plantar artery, which are branches off of the posterior tibial. Plantar surface (superficial: fat pad: responsible for absorbing shock, if shoes not fitted properly, and we put weight from calcaneus onto ground, calcaneus will push fat pad sideways.
