Q1. What type of articular surface is found at the head of a proximal phalanx of toes two through five?
- A facet for the cuboid
- A trochlear surface for the middle phalanx
- A flat surface for a metatarsal base
- A surface for the talar head
Q2. Which joints are present in toes two through five but not both present in the hallux?
- Two tarsometatarsal joints
- Proximal and distal interphalangeal joints
- Two metatarsophalangeal joints
- Subtalar and talonavicular joints
Q3. Where does flexor hallucis longus insert?
- Base of the distal phalanx of the hallux
- Navicular tuberosity
- Base of the fifth metatarsal
- Middle phalanx of the second toe
Q4. Where does extensor hallucis longus insert?
- Navicular tuberosity
- Calcaneal tuberosity
- Plantar base of the first metatarsal
- Dorsal base of the distal phalanx of the hallux
Q5. Where does flexor digitorum longus insert in toes two through five?
- Bases of the distal phalanges
- Cuboid
- Bases of the proximal phalanges
- Heads of the metatarsals
Q6. Where does flexor digitorum brevis insert?
- Navicular
- Distal phalanx of the hallux
- Middle phalanges of toes two through five
- First metatarsal base
Q7. Which structure expands over the dorsum of the lateral four toes and transmits extensor forces to the phalanges?
- Long plantar ligament
- Plantar aponeurosis only
- Extensor expansion
- Spring ligament
Q8. What is the expanded terminal portion of a distal phalanx called?
- Distal tuft
- Trochlear notch
- Malleolus
- Sustentaculum
Q9. Which phalanx is directly involved in the metatarsophalangeal joint of every toe?
- Proximal phalanx
- Middle phalanx
- No phalanx
- Distal phalanx
Q10. How do the phalanges of the hallux differ functionally from those of the lesser toes?
- They form a robust two-bone chain important for push-off
- They articulate directly with the talus
- They form the lateral longitudinal arch
- They do not bear load during gait
