Dissection of dorsolateral aspect of left foot and ankle

Nerve supply to abductor digiti minimi muscle, close-up lateral view

The abductor digiti minimi has been reflected downward to expose the branch of the lateral plantar nerve (12) as it passes within the substance of the muscle.

1 .	Dorsal lateral cutaneous nerve
2 .	Greater saphenous vein
3 .	Peroneus longus muscle (tendon covered by inferior peroneal retinaculum)
4 .	Peroneus brevis muscle (tendon covered by inferior peroneal retinaculum)
5 .	Extensor digitorum brevis muscle
6 .	Tuberosity of 5th metatarsal bone
7 .	Accessory peroneus muscle
8 .	Calcaneal branch of peroneal artery
9 .	Inferior peroneal retinaculum
10 .	Calcaneus (covered by periosteum)
11 .	Branch of lateral plantar artery
12 .	Branch of lateral plantar nerve (to abductor digiti minimi muscle)
13 .	Abductor digiti minimi muscle (reflected downward)
