On this image, we, uh, see the, uh, uh, nerves,
0:05
the, the muscles innovated by the mul, uh,
0:08
plantar nerve in yellow
0:09
and the lateral plantar nerve in, uh, red.
0:13
At, in this location the mule
0:15
and lateral plantar nerves are still close to each other,
0:17
but the, quite, quite quickly.
0:19
The lateral, uh, plantar nerve will give off a branch.
0:22
The Baxter nerve, which will make a 90 degree turn
0:26
and, uh, will, uh, go innerate the, uh,
0:29
abductor digi MiniMe muscle.
0:32
Uh, here at the, uh, midfoot on this coronal image,
0:37
now we are more distal.
0:39
So the meal and lateral plantar nerves have clearly
0:42
separated and they're separated
0:43
by this flexor digger brevis muscle.
0:46
And in that location,
0:48
the meal plantar nerve can become entrapped by the, uh,
0:51
cross the anatomic crossover
0:53
between the flexor holis longus, uh,
0:56
and the flexor de degener, uh, uh, longest tendons.
1:00
And this, uh, is also called jogger's foot.
1:03
And the patient pre, uh, present with arch pain
1:06
and numbness at the medial plantar aspect of the foot.
1:10
This is a patient who had 10 synovitis at this master knot,
1:14
Henry at the crossover between the two tendons
1:17
and had some denervation, uh, edema in the abductor lysis
1:22
and flexor digitorum brevis muscles.
1:24
So in the territory of the medial plantar nerve,
1:29
if there is entrapment more distally, then there's only two
1:32
or remaining muscles that are innervated by the, uh,
1:36
medial plantar nerve.
1:38
We have the, uh, flexor lysis previs,
1:41
and the first lumbar call Baxter's neuropathy is something
1:45
that we see quite frequently.
1:47
And so this happens when the, uh, inferior calcaneal nerve
1:52
or baxter's nerve makes a, a sharp,
1:54
90 degree turn towards the abductor Gigi MiniMe,
1:57
and it can become entrapped.
1:59
If there's a prominent G canal spur
2:01
or there's a, uh, fasciitis, it can irritate the nerve
2:06
and cause ation changes in the, uh, muscle.
2:10
Like you can see here, there's a little bit
2:12
of fatty atrophy.
2:14
The sal nerve is a, uh, per purely sensory, uh, nerve
2:19
formed, uh, from a branch, branch by the, the temporal nerve
2:22
and the common penal nerve.
2:25
It'll, uh, co in the calf, uh, lateral
2:28
to the achilles tendon
2:29
as you can usually find it quite easily, uh, posterior
2:33
to the peral tendons
2:34
and more distally it'll be inferior to the perineal tendons.
2:38
So this will supply sensation to the lateral aspect
2:42
of the ankle and foot in a narrow band.
2:44
Uh, usually it can be, uh,
2:48
it can be entrapped if there's significant, uh,
2:51
achilles tendinopathy, peral tendon, uh,
2:54
peral tendon pathology, uh, or um, injuries
2:58
To the fifth metatarsal.
3:01
So in summary, uh, we looked at, uh, the, uh,
3:06
three major motor nerves, uh, of the lower extremity,
3:10
the femoral nerve, uh, which supplies the ilio SOAs, uh,
3:15
muscle proximally
3:16
and the quap sartorius muscle more distally.
3:20
The opterator nerve, uh,
3:23
which supplies the adductor musculature
3:25
and the gracilis, uh, musculature
3:28
more approximately also supplies the adductor brevis
3:31
and the opterator ex sternness muscles.
3:34
The sciatic nerve, which will supply, uh,
3:37
all the hamstring muscles and will supply motor
3:42
and sensation below the, the knee except for, um,
3:47
sensation to the medial lower leg, which is supplied
3:50
by the ous nerve branch of the femoral nerve at the ankle.
3:55
We can, uh, see here the tibial nerve,
3:57
which will enter the tarsal tunnel
3:59
where it's susceptible to being entrapped.
4:02
It will, uh, trifurcate into medial
4:05
and lateral plantar nerves
4:06
and medial calcaneal branch, the saphenous nerve,
4:09
which is subcutaneous
4:11
and, uh, sensory branch from the femoral nerve.
4:16
The deep perennial nerve,
4:17
which can be entrapped at the interoral tunnel
4:20
and will supply sensation to the dorsal first web space
4:24
and, uh, mortar, uh, to the, uh, motor ov
4:27
to the extensor dig arm.
4:29
Brevis, uh, muscle, the superficial perineal nerve, uh,
4:33
which supply the perineal longus
4:36
and brevis muscle more approximately
4:38
but distally when it, uh, it becomes superficial
4:42
and is only sensory to the dorsal aspect of the foot.
4:46
And, uh, finally the sural nerve
4:48
that co courses in close proximity to the achilles tendon
4:53
and also, uh, very close to the peral tendons, more distally
4:57
and can be affected by pathologies of these tendons.
5:01
So this is the end of my, uh, talk
5:05
and thank you for your attention.
