Abstract
A study of the communicating branch between the medial and lateral plantar nerves was carried out on the feet of 20 cadavers. The nerve was found to be present in all the feet examined, but in two women it was considerably enlarged bilaterally. It is suggested that this enlarged communicating branch may be a factor responsible for the frequent involvement of the nerve to the third interspace by Morton's neuroma.Entities:
