The flexor retinaculum of foot ( laciniate ligament , internal annular ligament ) is a strong fibrous band , extending from the bony ankle prominence ( malleolus ) above , to the margin of the heelbone ( calcaneus ) below , converting a series of bony grooves in this situation into canals for the passage of the tendons of the flexor muscles and the ...
The foot flexion is 22Â° (40Â° in maximum plantar flexion â 18Â° talo-first metatarsal angle in neutral). This gives a total ankle(tibiotalar) ROM of 20Â° dorsiflexion and 3Â° plantar flexion for a total of 23Â°. The combined ankle and foot ROM is 23Â° in the ankleand 22Â° in the foot for a total of 45Â°.,3 Dorsiflexion was 2.1Â° (range, â2Â°â10Â°). Themean ankle plantar flexion was 16.4Â° (range, 0.0Â°â34.0Â°),with a combined true tibiotalar ROM of 18.5Â° (range,3.0Â°â44.0Â°) (Table 1).At 1-year followup, there was a limited, but significant(p 0.0037), improvement in the tibiotalar ROM (Table Fig 1AâC.
