Q

Adductor Hallucis

A

O: Oblique head= bases of metatarsals 2-4
Transverse Head= plantar ligaments of
metatarsophalangeal Joints
I: Tendons of both heads attach to lateral side of base of proximal phalanx of 1st digit
I: Deep branch of lateral plantar nerve
A: traditionally said to adductor 1st digit: assist in maintaining transverse arch of foot by pulling metatarsals medially
