True/False Questions for the Leg
1. The fiber direction of the interosseous membrane resists proximal displacement of the femur.
2. The tendon of flexor digitorum longus crosses superficial to the tendon of flexor hallucis longus.
3. The tendon of the flexor hallucis longus, within the foot, is inferior to the tendon of flexor digitorum brevis.
4. The anterior tibial artery enters the anterior compartment of the leg by passing medial to the neck of the fibula.
5. The deep peroneal nerve enters the anterior compartment of the leg by passing the superior free edge of the interosseous membrane.
6. The deep peroneal nerve enters the anterior compartment of the leg by passing the anterior lateral intermuscular septum.
7. The talocural joint is primarily a joint of extension and flexion and most stable in flexion (plantar flexion)
8. The talocalcaneonavicular (subtalar) joint is primarily a joint of eversion and inversion.
9. The transverse tarsal joint is primarily a joint of flexion and extension.
10. The tendon of extensor hallucis brevis blends into the medial side of the tendon of extensor hallucis longus.
11. The tendons of extensor digitorum brevis blend into the lateral side of the tendons of extensor digitorum longus.
12. The tendons of flexor hallucis brevis bifurcate inferior to the tendons of flexor digitorum longus and insert on the proximal phalanx.
13. The flexor digitorum longus flexes the proximal interphalangeal joint but not the distal interphalangeal joint.
14. The superior ramus of the "Y" of the inferior extensor retinaculum extends superior to the medial malleolus.
15. Sesamoid bones in the tendons of flexor hallucis brevis guide the tendon of flexor hallucis and the lateral sesamoid bone is a site of attachment for the transverse head of the adductor hallucis.
16. The anterior medial malleolar artery circles the medial side of the tibia superior to the medial malleolus.
17. The peroneal artery enters the anterior compartment of the leg and then the lateral compartment of the leg.
18. The lateral calcaneal artery arises from the peroneal artery.
19. Immediately superior to the sustentaculum tali is the tendon of flexor hallucis longus.
20. Immediately medial (superficial) to the sustentaculum tali is the posterior tibial artery/vein and the tibial nerve.
21. Immediately superior to the sustentaculum tali is the tendon of flexor digitorum longus.
22. Attaching to the anterior surface of the sustentaculum tali is the plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament.
23. Attaching to the superior surface of the sustentaculum tali is the tibiocalcanial part of the deltoid ligament.
