Dissection of dorsolateral aspect of left foot and ankle

Blood vessels and extensor tendons of toes; terminal branches of deep peroneal nerve, viewed from above

The extensor tendons continue distally onto the toes to form extensor expansions (1) similar to those found in the fingers.

1. Extensor expansion
2. Dorsal digital arteries
3. Dorsal metatarsal arteries
4. Tendons of extensor digitorum brevis muscle
5. 5th metatarsal bone
6. Tendons of extensor digitorum longus muscle
7. Dorsal digital nerve to medial second toe
8. Dorsal digital nerve to lateral first toe
9. Capsule of 1st metatarsophalangeal joint
10. 1st dorsal interosseus muscle
11. Dorsalis pedis artery
12. Deep peroneal nerve
13. Abductor hallucis muscle
14. Extensor hallucis brevis muscle
15. Sheath of extensor digitorum longus tendon
