[1] [13] In such a fracture, the hard blow to the tip of the distal phalanx typically results in a transverse or oblique fracture in the proximal phalanx (base of toe), but can occur in any phalanx. [1] [13] An open wound toe fracture may result from an injury from a lawn mower. [6]
The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes, respectively. The tendons of both of these muscles cross as they reach their distal attachments. In other words, the flexor hallucis longus arises laterally, while the flexor digitorum longus arises medially.
intra-articular fracture of base of Thumb metacarpal: axial load along metacarpal in a partially flexed thumb: Bennett's fracture at Whonamedit? Bosworth fracture: David M. Bosworth: fracture of distal fibula with posterior dislocation of the proximal fibula behind the tibia: severe external rotation of the foot "Bosworth fracture dislocation ...
The foot (pl.: feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion.In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate [clarification needed] organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws and/or nails.
Feet and ankles (52 bones) - Left and right tarsals (14) (ankle), metatarsals (10) (foot), proximal phalanges(10), intermediate phalanges (8) and distal phalanges (10) . Through anatomical variation, the appendicular skeleton may have an accessory bone. Examples include sesamoids in the hands and feet. Some occurrences are rarer than others.
The function of the muscle is to move the fourth toe medially and move the toes together. [ 2 ] The horizontal head of the adductor hallucis also originates from the lateral side of the metacarpophalangeal joint and from the deep transverse metatarsal ligament , [ 2 ] a narrow band which runs across and connects together the heads of all the ...
The function of the muscle is to move the third toe medially and move the toes together. [ 2 ] The horizontal head of the adductor hallucis also originates from the lateral side of the metacarpophalangeal joint and from the deep transverse metatarsal ligament , [ 2 ] a narrow band which runs across and connects together the heads of all the ...
The flexor hallucis longus is situated on the fibular side of the leg. It arises from the inferior two-thirds of the posterior surface of the body of the fibula, with the exception of 2.5 cm at its lowest part; from the lower part of the interosseous membrane; from an intermuscular septum between it and the peroneus muscles, laterally, and from the fascia covering the tibialis posterior, medially.
