Editing Toe (section)

===Nerve supply===
Sensation to the skin of the toes is provided by five nerves. The [[superficial fibular nerve]] supplies sensation to the top of the toes, except between the hallux and second toe, which is supplied by the [[deep fibular nerve]], and the outer surface of the fifth toe, supplied by the [[sural nerve]]. Sensation to the bottom of the toes is supplied by the [[medial plantar nerve]], which supplies sensation to the great toe and inner three-and-a-half toes, and the [[lateral plantar nerve]], which supplies sensation to the little toe and half of the sensation of the fourth toe.

In [[human]]s, the hallux is usually longer than the second toe, but in some individuals, it may not be the longest toe. There is an [[Mendelian inheritance|inherited]] trait in humans, where the [[Dominance (genetics)|dominant]] [[gene]] causes a longer second toe ("[[Morton's toe]]" or "Greek foot") while the [[Zygosity|homozygous]] recessive [[genotype]] presents with the more common trait: a longer hallux.<ref>{{OMIM|189200|Toes&nbsp;– relative lengths of first and second}}</ref> People with the rare genetic disease [[fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva]] characteristically have a short hallux which appears to turn inward, or medially, in relation to the foot.
