Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the course of the dorsomedial cutaneous nerve (DMCN) to the great toe. The DMCN is a branch of the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve, which originates from the superficial peroneal nerve. Injury to the DMCN may result in a painful neuroma. Identifying and protecting the DMCN to the great toe during surgical procedures near these areas may decrease the rate of painful neuroma formation.
