[Study of the sub-transversal intercapitometatarsal serous bursae].
About twenty five dissections of the forefoot, we have precised the presence of serosis burses, upper the profound transversal intermetatarsus ligament, in the intercapito metatarsus region. These burses, recently described by Bossley (New Zealand), are not described in the classical anatomic books. Variable in the first and forth spaces, they are always present in the second and third spaces, where their very anterior situation realizes a privileged connexion with the digital nerve, at its division. In precising the situation and the anatomic characteristics of these burses, this study contributes to clarify the etiology of some inflammatory or static pains of the foot.
