The {{c1::metatarsophalangeal (MTP)}} joints are {{c2::condyloid}} joints with {{c3::2::n}} degrees of freedom.
Published
07/30/2024
The {{c1::metatarsophalangeal (MTP)}} joints are formed by the {{c2::convex heads of the MT and the concave bases of the proximal phalanges::2}}

In the MTPJ, extension is more pronounced than flexion. {{c1::True::True/False}}

The {{c1::1st}} MTPJ has {{c2::2::n}} sesamoid bones on its plantar aspect.
Published
07/30/2024
The sesamoid bones of the 1st MTPJ serve as anatomic pulleys for {{c1::flexor hallucis brevis (FHB)::muscle}}.
Published
07/30/2024
The {{c1::sesamoid bones of the 1st MTPJ}} protect the {{c2::flexor hallucis longus (FHL)}} tendon from WB trauma.

The plantar plates are found at the {{c1::base of the proximal phalanx (PP) of lesser toes (2nd to 5th toes)}}.
Published
07/30/2024
The {{c1::plantar plates}} serve as central stabilizing structure of MTP, protecting the WB surface of MT heads.
Published
07/30/2024
The MTPJ serves primarily to allow the WB foot to rotate over the toes through {{c1::MTPJ extension (metatarsal break)}}
Published
07/30/2024
MTP extension occurs around a single oblique axis that runs through the {{c1::2nd-5th MT heads}}.

{{c1::Hammer toes}} is characterized by the excessive extension at MTPJ.

The interphalangeal (IP) joints are {{c2::hinge}} joints with {{c1::1::n}} degree of freedom.
Published
07/30/2024
In contrast to the lesser toes, the hallux has {{c1::1::n}} IPJ.
Published
07/30/2024
IP joints smoothen the {{c1::weight shift}} to the opposite foot in gait.
Published
