After the formation of the second curve the medial tarsal artery proceeds in a distal direction upon the deep flexor tendon in company with the plantar nerves. Just before the base of the metatarsal bone is reached the vessel divides into the medial and lateral plantar arteries (a. plantaris medialis; a. plantaris lateralis). Of the two plantar arteries the lateral is the larger, and follows the lateral plantar nerve (posterior to the nerve) along the border of the Digitized by Microsoft®.
