Fifth toe

Fifth toe
Skeleton of foot. Lateral aspect.
Bones of the right foot. Plantar surface.
Latin	Digitus minimus pedis; Digitus quintus pedis

The fifth toe (also known as little toe, baby toe, or pinky toe) is the outermost (most distal) and usually the smallest toe of the foot.

It is associated with many medical conditions, largely due to the use of shoes.

It consists of the fifth metatarsal bone and its associated phalanges.

The muscles that serve the fifth toe are:

• Abductor digiti minimi muscle (foot)
• Flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle (foot)

Some parallels can be drawn with these muscles and those of the hypothenar eminence serving the little finger.
