General Course of Nerve:[edit | edit source]

It arises under the flexor retinaculum and runs forward deep to the abductor halluces, then it comes to lies in the interval between the abductor halluces and the flexor digitorum brevity.  

Branches:[edit | edit source]

Cutaneous branches: plantar digital nerves run to the sides of the medial three and the medial half of the fourth toe. The nerves extend onto the dorsumand supply the nail beds and the tips of the toes.


Muscular branches: it gives a branches to these four muscles, abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis and the first lumbrical muscle.
