Foot and ankle

The medial dorsal cutaneous nerve of the foot is a branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. It passes in front of the ankle joint, and divides into two dorsal digital branches, one of which supplies the medial side of the great toe, while the other supplies the adjacent side of the second and third toes.
The Gallbladder (GB)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
Compression of the superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve by crural fascia causes “superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve syndrome.” Near GB 39, this nerve emerges through the crural fascia and divides into two cutaneous branches, the medial dorsal and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerves. The intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve follows the GB channel to the toes while the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve accompanies the ST channel. The LR channel on the dorsum of the foot (from about LR 1-LR 3) receives sensation by the lateral branch of the deep peroneal (fibular) nerve but may include some fibers from the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve from superficial peroneal (fibular) origin.5

The superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) and its branches, the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve (MDCN), and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve (IDCN), supply a major portion of the dorsum of the foot, except for those regions supplied by the deep peroneal nerve (DPN) and sural nerve (SN). The MDCN is larger in size and less variable than the others (Figure 1) [14–17]. This study involves the neurocutaneous flap that depends on SPN and MDCN, called the superficial peroneal neurocutaneous (SPNC) flap, that receives the most reliable blood supply from perforating branches of the dorsalis pedis artery, primarily supplying the dorsum of the foot.
