The principal nerve entrapment syndromes in foot include those symptom complexes that are primarily
neurologic in origin and result from embarrassment to any of peripheral nerve trunk or branches of foot. It is universally
accepted axiom that the nerve supply to any muscle, particularly in an extremity, is of definite surgical importance. A
frequent variation in this regard calls for surgeon’s attention in order to avoid error in the judgment. In the present study
both feet of 30 embalmed cadavers were dissected to show frequency of occurrence and anatomical variation of
communicating branch of lateral plantar nerve. The communicating branch was present in 33.33% limbs. With no large
gender based differences, branches occurred bilaterally in all. Formation of communicating branch has been thought to
explain occurrence of this nerve of painful neurofibroma, the syndrome of which is known as Morton’s toe. The neuroma
was not detected in present study.
