Description[edit | edit source]
Flexor Digitorum Brevis is the central muscle of the superficial layer of the plantar foot muscles.[1] It lies in the middle of the sole, immediately superior to the plantar aponeurosis and inferior to the tendon of Flexor Digitorum Longus.[2]
Origin[edit | edit source]
The Flexor Digitorum Brevis muscle originates from the medial process of calcaneal tuberosity and the central part of the plantar aponeurosis.[3]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
It inserts on the middle phalanges of the lateral four toes by a tendon to each toe.[3]
Nerve[edit | edit source]
Flexor Digitorum Brevis is supplied by the medial plantar nerve (S1 & S2), which is a terminal branch of the tibial nerve.[4]
Artery[edit | edit source]
The Flexor Digitorum Brevis is supplied by the medial and lateral plantar arteries.[3]
Function[edit | edit source]
Flexor Digitorum Brevis plantarflexes the four lateral toes at the proximal interphalangeal joint.[2]
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
As an intrinsic muscle of the foot, the Flexor Digitorum Brevis plays an important role in stabilising the longitudinal arch of the foot.[4]
