Gout

What is gout? form of inflammatory arthritis that develops in some people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood The acid can form needle-like crystals in a joint and cause sudden, severe episodes of pain, tenderness, redness, warmth and swelling Anatomy: Gout usually affects the big toe- MTP joint Gout also affects other joints such as knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, and fingers. Etiology: Gout is caused by altered purine metabolism leading to excess uric acid in body. When the limits of uric acid are exceeded, urate crystals deposit in the joints Signs & symptoms: Redness Swelling For many people, the first symptom of gout is excruciating pain, discoloration, and swelling in the big toe Special tests: Joint aspiration Blood test X-ray

Turf toe

Anatomy: The big toe is made up of 2 joints The metatarsophalangeal joint ( MTP) This is joint that is in between the Phalanx and the Metatarsal Plantar Complex Plantar Plate-( volar plante) thick tissue under the MTP joint. Prevents the big toes from bending to far in dorsiflexion Collateral Ligaments - each side of the big toe. Connect the Phlanax bone to the metatarsal and prevent the toe from going side to side Flexor Hallucis Brevis& longus- the tendon runs under the first metatarsal bone and attach to the phalanx. Gives strength and stability to push off. Sesamoids-help the tendons move more easily. Helps weight bearing MOI: Hyperextension of the Big Toe.

Jones Fracture

Mechanism of Injury- direct force on the forefoot during plantar flexion of the ankle. Jones Fracture takes about 2 months to heal. There should be immobilization as part of the initial treatment. Along with a cast or non weight bearing for 6 to 8 weeks. The fracture can get worse if it continues in regular day activity. Jones fx the fault line is going into Stress fx: doesn't not go into the joint Avulsion fx: the fault line goes into the taromatatral Jones: why it doesn't heal well There is no blood supply Peroneal buris and peroneal tritious is pulling and wont aloud the ostoblast to heal the injury.

Pes Planus Foot - Flatfoot

Pes Planus: If the medial longitudinal arch is not adequately supported, the medial aspect of the talus rotates inward and the navicular drops inferiorly- giving you flat feet Anatomy: Medial Longitudinal Ligament Plantar Fascia Long and short plantar ligaments Calcaneonavicular (Spring) ligament Tibialis Posterior Tibialis Anterior Navicular Talus Intrinsic muscles- flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis Etiology: The onset of pes planus can be traced to a congenital origin (born with), biomechanical changes, or acute trauma Acute pes planus trauma includes: Trauma to the structures supporting the medial longitudinal ligament rupture of the plantar fascia tears of the plantar ligaments calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament sprains, or the rupture of the tibialis posterior or tibialis anterior tendon fracture of the navicular tuberosity, including an accessory navicular Footwear- comfort, insoles Signs & symptoms: A flatfoot may cause no symptoms. Symptoms of flatfoot include pain that may be in the inside arch, heel, or ankle and on the outside of the foot just below the ankle. Flattening of the arch can lead to rolling in of the foot and ankle and tilting outward of the heel Special tests: Feiss Line Navicular Drop test Supple pes planus (Windlass) test Positive Test- Medial longitudinal arch disappears when weight bearing

Posterior ankle dislocation

Posterior ankle dislocations are most common. These injuries occur when a high-energy axial force drives the inverted foot backwards. These injuries are commonly accompanied by syndesmotic failure or fracture of the lateral malleolus This dislocation can potentially compromise the posterior tibial neurovascular structures.

Superior ankle dislocation

Posterior ankle dislocations are most common. These injuries occur when a high-energy axial force drives the inverted foot backwards. These injuries are commonly accompanied by syndesmotic failure or fracture of the lateral malleolus This dislocation can potentially compromise the posterior tibial neurovascular structures.
