Fourth

25
Q

Dorsal interossei muscles

A

Adjacent sides 1-5 metatarsals –> proximal phalanx of 2-4 toes

26
Q

Nerves

A

Tibial
Sural
Saphenous

27
Q

Tibial gives what branches

A

Medial calcaneal
Medial plantar nerve
Lateral plantar nerve

28
Q

Medial calcaneal

A

supplies sensory innervation to heel

branch of tibial

29
Q

Medial plantar nerve

A
  1. Larger than lateral
  2. btw 1st and 2nd layer
  3. passes deep to abductor hallucis brevis
  4. Divides into 3 common plantar digital nerves
    - each of those gives rise to two proper plantar digital nerves
30
Q

Medial plantar nerve supplies

A 
cutaneous branch to 3 1/2 digits
motor to --> abductor hallucis
FDB
FHB
1st lumbrical
31
Q

Lateral Plantar nerve

A

Passes deep to abductor hallucis
Provides cutaneous branches to lateral 1 1/2 digits
Provides 1 common plantar digital nerve
Provides moto branches to rest of intrinsic muscles

32
Q

Sural Nerve

A

Sensory to lateral margin of foot and lateral side of 5th toe

33
Q

Saphenous Nerve

A

branch of femoral nerve

sensory to medial side of phoot

34
Q

Arteries of sole of foot are from

A

Posterior tibial

  • medial and lateral plantar arteries
  • supply plantar muscles
  • Anastomose with arteries of dorsum of foot
35
Q

Medial Plantar Artery

A

smaller than lateral
passes btw abductor hallucis and FDB
Supplies medial side of great tow (first proper plantar digital artery)

36
Q

Lateral Plantar Artery

A

Runs obliquely across foot to lateral side
At base of 5th metatarsal it passes medial side
On medial side it joins deep plantar branch of dorsalis pedis to complete plantar arch

37
Q

Deep plantar artery procides

A

four plantar metatarsal arteries

38
Q

Each plantar metatarsal artery divides into

A

2 proper plantar digital arteries that supply adjacent sides of each toe

39
Q

The first proper plantar digital artery usally originates either from

A

first metatarsal or from medial plantar artery

40
Q

WHat is usually terminal branch of lateral plantar artery

A

10th proper plantar digital
