The dorsalis pedis artery is located 1/3 from medial malleolus of the ankle. It arises at the anterior aspect of the ankle joint and is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery. [1][2] It ends at the proximal part of the first intermetatarsal space. Here, it divides into two branches, the first dorsal metatarsal artery, and the deep plantar ...

The deep plantar artery (ramus plantaris profundus; communicating artery) descends into the sole of the foot, between the two heads of the 1st interosseous dorsalis, and unites with the termination of the lateral plantar artery, to complete the plantar arch. It sends a branch along the medial side of the great toe and continues forward along ...
Close to the ankle joint, the deep fibular nerve terminates by dividing into medial and lateral terminal branches. [1]Medial terminal branch: This nerve accompanies the dorsalis pedis artery along the dorsum of the foot, and, at the first interosseous space, divides into two dorsal digital nerves which supply the adjacent sides of the great and second toes, [1] communicating with the medial ...
The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm (brachium). Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg suggests blocked arteries due to peripheral artery disease (PAD). The ABPI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood ...
Medial tarsal arteries. Anterior tibial artery, dorsalis pedis artery and the muscles and bones of the leg - anterior view. (Medial tarsal visible but not labeled, at bottom right.) The medial tarsal arteries are two or three small branches which ramify on the medial border of the foot and join the medial malleolar network .
The dorsal interossei abduct at the metatarsophalangeal joints of the third and fourth toes. Because there is a pair of dorsal interossei muscles attached on both sides of the second toe, simultaneous contraction of these muscles results in no movement. This arrangement of dorsal interossei makes the second toe the midline of the foot, whereas ...
The plantar arch is a circulatory anastomosis formed from: deep plantar artery, from the dorsalis pedis - a.k.a. dorsal artery of the foot. lateral plantar artery. The plantar arch supplies the underside, or sole, of the foot. The plantar arch runs from the 5th metatarsal and extends medially to the 1st metatarsal (of the big toe).
