Superficial structures of the ankle & foot

Product code: HP0608

Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.

The foot is a dynamic lever capable of storing and releasing energy and absorbing shock forces during gait. It also acts as a stable platform during standing and can accommodate multiple types of terrain. The foot achieves this via its morphology and interactions between its bones, joints, and soft tissues. This Silicone Plastinate reveals the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and neurovasculature of the distal leg and foot, mainly in their anatomical position. The course, branching and destination of key neurovascular structure are revealed alongside common points for their access, entrapment, damage, or local block.

Polymer injected arteries & veins

Key features include

General

Distal leg and foot.
Most veins in-situ.

Muscles and regions

Distal leg and foot, with the ankle joint and toes in the anatomical position.
Transverse section through the distal leg, revealing the arrangement of key muscles and neurovasculature in their compartments.
Muscles of the distal part of the leg and foot, shown mainly in the anatomical position.
Flexor and extensor retinaculae of the ankle, and fibular retinaculae.
Boundaries and neurovascular contents of key regions including the tarsal tunnel.
Boundaries of the sites for ankle joint injection/aspiration.
Plantar aponeurosis lifted and reflected to reveal underlying neurovasculature, muscles of the foot, and tendons.
Muscles of the foot, including interossei, lumbricals, abductor hallucis, abductor digiti minimi, and flexor digitorum brevis.
Pulley system of toes both in-situ and opened on some toes to show arrangement of flexor tendons.
Extensor expansions of the foot, with associated attachments of the muscles of the foot.

Neurovasculature

Key superficial veins, including the dorsal arch and network of foot, small saphenous, and great saphenous.
Relationship of superficial veins with cutaneous nerves.
Course, relations, and branches of key neurovascular structures, including the tibial, deep fibular and superficial fibular nerves, and the anterior tibial, posterior tibial and plantar arteries.
Course and relations of the dorsalis pedis artery.
Position and course of the plantar and dorsal digital arteries and nerves of the foot.
