Intramuscular nerve distribution pattern of the oblique and transverse heads of the adductor hallucis muscles in the human foot.

Abstract:

:To understand which layer of the intrinsic muscles of the foot the adductor hallucis muscle belongs to, it is essential to investigate the innervation patterns of this muscle. In the present study, we examined the innervation patterns of the adductor hallucis muscles in 17 feet of 15 Japanese cadavers. We investigated the intramuscular nerve supplies of the adductor hallucis muscles in six feet and performed nerve fiber analysis in three feet. The results indicate that: (i) the oblique head of the adductor hallucis muscle is divided into three compartments (i.e. lateral, dorsal and medial parts) or two compartments (i.e. dorsal and medial parts) based on its intramuscular nerve supplies, but we could not classify the transverse head into any parts; (ii) the communicating twig between the lateral and medial plantar nerves penetrated the oblique head of the adductor hallucis muscle in 13 of 17 feet (76.5%); (iii) the penetrating twig entered between the lateral and dorsal parts of the oblique head, passed between the lateral and medial parts of this muscle and then connected with the medial plantar nerve; and (iv) the majority of the nerve fibers of the penetrating twig derived from the lateral plantar nerve. The present study demonstrated that only the lateral part of the oblique head of the adductor hallucis muscle had a unique innervating pattern different from other parts of this muscle, suggesting that the lateral part of the oblique head has a different origin from other parts of this muscle.
