Corpus: Intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve

The intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve is a sensitive terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve that innervates the skin on the lateral side of the back of the foot (dorsum pedis). In many cases, it is supported by the sural nerve, which supplies the skin on the lateral edge of the foot.

The dorsalis intermedius cutaneous nerve supplies the skin of the lateral dorsum of the foot and the lateral side of the ankle joint. Its course is divided into smaller branches (digital dorsal rami), which innervate the dorsal sides and the opposite sides of the 3rd, 4th and 5th toes.
