Nerves of the metatarsus and digit.—At the distal end of the leg the tibial nerve divides into the medial and lateral plantar nerves (n. plantaris medialis; n. plantaris lateralis). These, at first, lie close together on the surface of the combined tendon of the flexor hallucis longus and tibialis posterior; but, before the metatarsus is reached, the lateral nerve passes obliquely between the superficial and deep flexor tendons, and thus arrives at the lateral border of the deep tendon. The medial and lateral nerves follow the medial and lateral Digitized by Microsoft®.
