The adductor hallucis adducts the great toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint and is innervated by the lateral plantar nerve.
The flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle originates from the plantar surface of the base of metatarsal V and adjacent sheath of the fibularis longus tendon (Fig. 6.122). It inserts on the lateral side of the base of the proximal phalanx of the little toe.
