Study These Flashcards
A
  • Cutaneous of plantar medial hallux
  • Also called the medial branch of the medial plantar nerve
  • Also supplies motor branch to FHB
24
Q

1st-3rd common plantar digital nerves pathway

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Travel in their respective metatarsal spaces
  • Plantar pass plantar to deep transverse metatarsal ligament
  • Becomes cutaneous near MTP joint
  • Arise from the lateral branch of medial plantar nerve
  • Give off proper digital plantar nerves
25
1st common plantar digital nerve (1st metatarsal space) motor supply
- FHB | - 1st lumbrical
26
2nd Common plantar digital nerve (2nd intermetatarsal space) cutaneous supply
- Proper plantar digital nerve 4: lateral plantar aspect of 2nd toe - Proper plantar digital nerve 5: medial plantar aspect of 3rd toe
27
3rd common plantar digital nerve (3rd intermetatarsal space) cutaneous supply
- Proper plantar digital nerve 6: lateral plantar aspect of 3rd toe - Proper plantar digital nerve 7: medial plantar aspect of 4th toe - Receives communicating branch from lateral plantar nerve
28
The proper plantar digital nerves give off
- Articular branches to MTPJ and IPJ of their respective digits
29
Proper digital nerves can also be called by what they innervate
- Medial plantar cutaneous nerve of the hallux - Lateral plantar cutaneous nerve of the hallux - Medial plantar cutaneous nerve of the 2nd toe/digit - Lateral plantar cutaneous nerve of the 2nd toe/digit - Etc…….
30
Dorsal digital nerves can also be called by what they innervate
- Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve of the 2nd toe | - Medial dorsal digital nerve of the 2nd toe
31
Dorsal digital nerves can also be called by what they branch from
- Lateral branch of the 2nd common plantar digital nerve | - Medial branch of the 4th common plantar digital nerve
32
Arterial supply to plantar foot
- Lateral and medial plantar arteries | - Branch from posterior tibial within tarsal tunnel
33
Lateral plantar artery
- Larger than medial plantar artery - Passes thorough porta pedis - Passes between muscle layers 1 and 2 through the calcaneal compartment - Angled toward 5th met styloid process
34
Branches of lateral plantar artery
- Calcaneal branches - Anastomotic branches to lateral tarsal and lateral malleolar plexus - Proper plantar digital artery 10 (of the 5th digit): supplies lateral plantar 5th digit - Deep Plantar Arch
35
Deep plantar arch
- Continuation of lateral plantar artery at 5th met base - Passes along met bases medially between oblique head adductor hallucis and plantar interossei - Between layers 3 and 4
36
Deep plantar arch anastomoses with
- Deep plantar artery (terminal branch of dorsalis pedis)
37
Deep plantar arch gives off (plantar)
- 4 plantar metatarsal arteries that travel in intermetatarsal space in the interosseous compartment - Gives rise to 8 plantar digital proper arteries
38
Deep plantar arch gives off (perforating)
- 1 proximal and 1 distal perforating artery per intermetatarsal space - Both anastomose with dorsal metatarsal artery counterpart - The proximal connects with deep plantar arch - Sometimes absent

- Superficial plantar digital branches | - Anastomoses with 1st – 3rd plantar metatarsal arteries
47
Deep branch of medial plantar artery

50
Lateral malleolar arterial plexus
- Anterior lateral malleolar artery - Posterior lateral malleolar artery - Branch from lateral tarsal artery - Branch from lateral plantar artery - Branch from lateral calcaneal artery - Perforating fibular artery can also be included
51
Ankle blood supply is derived from
- Fibular - Anterior/posterior tibial - Dorsalis pedis - Medial/lateral plantar plantar arteries
52
Medial/lateral planter nerve pathway
- Branch in the tarsal tunnel (from tibial, deep to flexor retinaculum) - Passes through tarsal tunnel - Exits porta pedis to enter foot
53
Lateral plantar nerve divides into
- Superficial/deep branches | - Around base of 5th met
54
Proper planter digital nerve 10 cutaneous innervation
- Plantar lateral 5th toe - Digital tuft - Nail
55
Proper plantar digital nerve 10 motor innervation
