The tibiofibular trunk terminates by bifurcating into two terminal branches: the posterior tibial artery, and the fibular artery. This is the most common configuration of the origins of these arteries, however, many other anatomical variations exist. [1]
Usually tibial-fibular trunk, occasionally popliteal artery: Branches: Communicating branch (to the anterior tibial artery) and the perforating branch (to the posterior tibial artery) Vein: Fibular vein: Supplies: Lateral compartment of the leg: Identifiers; Latin: arteria fibularis, arteria peronea: TA98: A12.2.16.071: TA2: 4727: FMA: 43921 ...
The fibular artery typically arises from the posterior tibial artery. [3] Therefore, the posterior tibial artery proximal to the fibular artery origin is sometimes called the tibial-peroneal trunk or tibial-fibular trunk and it could be said that the popliteal artery bifurcates into the tibial-fibular trunk and anterior tibial artery.
The posterior tibial artery of the lower limb is an artery that carries blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and plantar surface of the foot. It branches from the popliteal artery via the tibial-fibular trunk .

They drain the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot to the popliteal vein, which it forms when it joins with the anterior tibial vein. [1] The posterior tibial vein is accompanied by an homonym artery, the posterior tibial artery, along its course. [2] It lies posterior to the medial malleolus in the ankle. [2]
The anterior tibial artery is a branch of the popliteal artery. [1] It originates at the distal end of the popliteus muscle posterior to the tibia. The artery typically passes anterior to the popliteus muscle prior to passing between the tibia and fibula through an oval opening at the superior aspect of the interosseus membrane.
