The dorsal ligaments are strong, flat bands.. The first metatarsal is joined to the first cuneiform by a broad, thin band; the second has three, one from each cuneiform bone; the third has one from the third cuneiform; the fourth has one from the third cuneiform and one from the cuboid; and the fifth, one from the cuboid.
Cuboid syndrome may develop through either a single traumatic event such as an ankle sprain or insidiously with repetitive strain over time. [1] The exact etiology of cuboid syndrome remains unclear but many ideas have been proposed. Such ideas include excessive pronation of the foot, overuse injury, and inversion ankle sprains. [1]
A Lisfranc injury, also known as Lisfranc fracture, is an injury of the foot in which one or more of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus. [1] [2]The injury is named after Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin, a French surgeon and gynecologist who noticed this fracture pattern amongst cavalrymen in 1815, after the War of the Sixth Coalition.
Indirect force involves twisting of the foot, usually an impact to the heel while the foot is pointed down toward the ground. [4] A mild form of this injury results in a widening of the gap between the first and second metatarsals. An extreme form of the a Lisfranc fracture causes a complete dislocation of the metatarsals from the tarsal bones.
Only one muscle is attached to the cuboid bone; the tibialis posterior.The tibialis posterior inserts to the under surface of the cuboid bone. [2] While the flexor hallucis brevis arises, by a pointed tendinous process, from the medial part of the under surface of the cuboid bone, from the contiguous portion of the lateral cuneiform bone, and from the prolongation of the tendon of the tibialis ...
The transverse arch is composed of the three cuneiforms, the cuboid, and the five metatarsal bases. The transverse arch is strengthened by the interosseous, plantar, and dorsal ligaments, by the short muscles of the first and fifth toes (especially the transverse head of the adductor hallucis ), and by the fibularis longus , whose tendon ...
The foot is usually dislocated medially (80%) and superiorly, which occurs when the foot is plantar flexed and inverted. Lateral displacement occurs during eversion injuries. Associated fractures of calcaneus, cuboid and navicular are frequent. Open fractures occur in a small percentage.
The dorsal tarsometatarsal ligaments are ligaments located in the foot.They are strong, flat bands that stretch from the tarsal bones to the metatarsals.. The first metatarsal is joined to the first cuneiform by a broad, thin band; the second has three, one from each cuneiform bone; the third has one from the third cuneiform; the fourth has one from the third cuneiform and one from the cuboid ...
