The termination of the anterior tibial nerve accom-panies the dorsalis pedis artery and supplies the skin of the outer side ofthe great toe, as well as the short extensors of the toes (Fig. 23). Plantar Surface.—On the plantar surface of the foot there is a dis-tinct concavity, referred to above. When this concavity or arch is ab-sent, the deformity is known as flat-foot. When this is of long standingor congenital, it may give rise to no symptoms; but if acquired,—as fre-quently happens in those who are obliged to be on their feet a great deal,like waiters, etc.,—the condition becomes quite painful, and is oftenmistaken for rheumatism.
