anastomose with planter arterial arch and with plantar metatarsal arteries of 2,3,4 intermetarsal spaces lateral most proper plantar artery of 5th digit is supplied directly by lateral plantar artery -prior to formation of arch
61
medial plantar artery
smaller of two branches of posterior tibial artery courses along medial plantar surface between abuctor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis medial to head of 1st metatarsal, anastomoses with digital branch of 1st dorsal metatarsal artery (dorsalis pedis) and terminates by forming 1st proper plantar digital artery
62
branches of medial plantar artery?
second, third, fourth plantar digital arteries which anastomose with plantar metatarsal arteries to provide plantar proper digital arteries
63
tibial nerve?
after exits beneath flexor retinaculum passes deep to adductor hallucis and bifurcates: -medial and lateral plantar nerves
64
medial plantar nerve
homologue of median nerve in hand larger of two branches -passes forward with medial plantar artery and vein in medial intermuscular septum where it provides muscular branches to abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis
65
plantar cutaneous nerve
branch from medial plantar nerve | perforate underlying deep fascia and innervate the skin of medial portion of sole
66
termination of medial plantar nerve?
proper digital branch for medial surface of great toe and muscular branch to flexor hallucis brevis common digital nerves (3) which provide proper digital nerves at webs between 1,2,3 toes and muscular branch of 1st lumbricals

lateral plantar nerve
homolog of ulnar nerve in hand branch from tibial nerve deep to abductor hallucis muscle and parallels path of lateral plantar artery across sole of foot between layers 1 and 2
69
termination of lateral plantar nerve?
superficial branch - courses laterally on surface of flexor digiti minimi to provide branches to surrounding muscles, proper digital nerve to lateral surface of 5th digit, and a common digital nerve which supplies proper digital nerves to 4th and 5th digits deep branch - accompanies plantar arterial arch on surface of interosseous muscles where it provides branches to surrounding muscularture
