Area of Science:
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Congenital Malformations
- Surgical Case Reports
Background:
- Pre-axial polydactyly of the foot is a rare congenital anomaly.
- It can be associated with other congenital anomalies and syndromes.
- Classification systems like Venn-Watson's aid in understanding polydactyly.

01:28Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes
1.1K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
