Foot Compartments

A

First are the dorsal intrinsic muscles, which include extensor digitorum brevis and extensor hallucis brevis, and are innervated by the deep fibular nerve
lateral compartment, including the abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti
minimi, and opponens digiti minimi, all innervated by the lateral plantar nerve.
The interosseous compartment (dorsal and planter interossei) is innervated by the lateral plantar nerve.

The central compartment is made up of three separate levels. The first
the level contains adductor hallucis and is innervated by the lateral plantar nerve. The next (second level) contains quadratus plantae,
lumbricals, and flexor digitorum longus, which are innervated by
medial and lateral plantar nerves. The third level contains the flexor
digitorum brevis, supplied by the medial plantar nerve.

the medial compartment, which contains abductor hallucis and flexor hallucis brevis, innervated by medial and
lateral plantar nerves.
