Common digital veins

Latin	venae digitales communes pedis
*Anatomical terminology* [edit on Wikidata]

On the dorsum of the foot the dorsal digital veins receive, in the clefts between the toes, the intercapitular veins from the plantar venous arch and join to form short common digital veins which unite across the distal ends of the metatarsal bones in a dorsal venous arch.
