Popliteal Artery
Anterior Tibial Artery Posterior Tibial Artery Dorsal Pedis Artery Peroneal Artery
Garg.m8@gmail.com
It is the main artery of anterior compartment of leg. It carries blood to anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery. It is accompanied by a deep vein, the anterior tibial vein, along its course. It crosses the anterior aspect of the ankle joint, at which point it becomes the dorsalis pedis artery.

Relation:In the upper one-third of the leg, the artery lie between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus; in the middle one-third between the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus; and in the lower one-third between the extensor hallucis longus and the extensor digitorum longus.

Posterior Tibial Artery:The posterior tibial artery of the lower limb carries blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and plantar surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery. It is accompanied by a deep vein, the posterior tibial vein, along its course.

Branches:
It typically gives rise to the fibular artery. It also gives rise to medial plantar artery and lateral plantar artery. In addition a calcaneal branch to the medial aspect of the calcaneus.

Structure:The fibular artery branches off the posterior tibial artery in the upper part of the leg proper, just below the knee. It runs downward in the deep posterior compartment of the leg, just medial to the fibula. It supplies a perforating branch to both lateral and anterior compartments of the leg; it also provides a nutrient artery to the fibula. The fibular artery is accompanied by small veins (venae comitantes) known as fibular veins.

Course and Relation:It begins 2.5cm below the lower border of the popliteus. It run obliquely toward the fibula and descends along the medial crest of the fibula, accompanied by the nerve to the flexor hallucis longus. It pass behind the inferior tibiofibular and ankle joint, medial to peroneal tendons, and terminates by dividing into a number of lateral calcanean branches.
