WHAT HAVE WE COVERED We have looked over the past few days at the 1st MTPJ anatomy and the various abnormalities at the joint. You should now have a good understanding of the anatomy of that joint and a sequence of how to assess it. THAT’S IT… BUT NOT QUITE 🙂 SEE THE NEXT PAGE

RANGE OF INJURIES AT THE 1st MTPJ 3. TENDON ABNORMALITIES TENDON ABNORMALITIES WHAT IS A NORMAL TENDON A normal tendon should be well defined and low signal on all sequences. WHAT HAPPENS WITH A TEAR Tendon increases in signal (fluid type) and there can also be increased signal in the adjacent muscle. WHAT DO THEY

A term that is commonly used in journals is Turf Toe which is a specific type of injury at the 1st MTPJ. TURF TOE TURF TOE WHAT IS IT Term used for a range of capsulo-ligamentous injury at 1st MTPJ. Results from forced hyper-extension at the 1st MTPJ with compression of the plantar surface.

WHAT HAVE WE COVERED Today we have looked at the anatomy of the 1st MTPJ in relation to the important structures of the Plantar Plate. Whilst the anatomy is complex, it helps to break it down into smaller pieces when you are assessing the region. Assess sequentially: Bone. Capsuloligamentous structures. Tendons. UP NEXT TOMORROW

WHAT SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE VIEW VIDEO: MTPJ ANATOMY Start by looking at the video and then look at the Dicom to find the structures. The dicom to view is the same one used in the video. Be STRUCTURED in your assessment and be able to find the following structures: BONE: Assess bone marrow signal

The 1st MTPJ anatomy has some similarities to the anatomy at the 2nd-5th MTPJ’s however there are significant differences, which make it more complex, due to the presence of the sesamoids and additional tendon insertions. We can break it down into three components we need to know about. BONY ANATOMY BONY ANATOMY SESAMOIDS Medial
