The fibular artery arises from the bifurcation of tibial-fibular trunk into the fibular and posterior tibial arteries in the upper part of the leg proper, just below the knee. It runs towards the foot in the deep posterior compartment of the leg, just medial to the fibula. It supplies a perforating branch to both the lateral and anterior ...
Perforating arteries. The arteries of the gluteal and posterior femoral regions. The deep femoral artery and its major perforating branches (labeled at right center), as seen on right thigh, anterior view. The perforating arteries are branches of the deep artery of the thigh, [1] usually three in number, so named because they perforate the ...
Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] Tibiofibular trunk (or tibioperoneal trunk) is an arterial trunk representing the direct continuation of the popliteal artery distal to where the anterior tibial artery (the first branch of the popliteal artery) branches off from it. The tibiofibular trunk terminates by bifurcating into two terminal ...
Head and superior two thirds of lateral surface of fibula: Base of 1st metatarsal and medial cuneiform: Superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2) Everts foot and weakly plantarflexes ankle Fibularis brevis: Inferior two thirds of lateral surface of fibula: Dorsal surface of tuberosity on lateral side of base of 5th metatarsal
fibular artery (sometimes from popliteal artery) communicating branch to the anterior tibial artery; perforating branch to the posterior tibial artery; medial plantar artery; lateral plantar artery; sural artery; medial superior genicular artery. Branch to vastus medialis; Branch to surface of the femur and the knee-joint; lateral superior ...
TA2. 4722. FMA. 43918. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The circumflex fibular artery (circumflex fibular branch, circumflex branch of posterior tibial artery, or circumflex peroneal branch of posterior tibial artery) is a branch of the posterior tibial artery which supplies blood to the knee. [1]
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.
The anterior lateral malleolar artery is a branch of the anterior tibial artery. It passes beneath the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius and supplies the lateral side of the ankle. It forms anastomoses [broken anchor] with the perforating branch of the fibular artery, and with ascending twigs from the lateral tarsal ...
