Preferred Label : medial plantar artery;
Uberon definition : The medial plantar artery (internal plantar artery), much smaller than the lateral,
passes forward along the medial side of the foot. It is at first situated above the
Abductor hallucis, and then between it and the Flexor digitorum brevis, both of which
it supplies. At the base of the first metatarsal bone, where it is much diminished
in size, it passes along the medial border of the first toe, anastomosing with the
first dorsal metatarsal artery. Small superficial digital branches accompany the digital
branches of the medial plantar nerve and join the plantar metatarsal arteries of the
first three spaces. [WP,unvetted].;
