- Anterior tibial artery
- Passes through the interosseous membrane to enter the anterior compartment
- Descends along the anterior surface of the interosseous membrane
- Supplies anterior compartment muscles and dorsum of the foot
- Continues as the dorsalis pedis artery
- Palpable pulse lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon
- Tibioperoneal trunk
- Short segment branching from the popliteal artery
- Divides into:
- Posterior tibial artery
- Peroneal (fibular) artery
- Posterior tibial artery
- Continues in the posterior compartment deep to the soleus muscle
- Accompanied by the tibial nerve
- Passes posterior to the medial malleolus (tarsal tunnel)
- Divides into medial and lateral plantar arteries
- Supplies the posterior and lateral compartments and the plantar foot
- Palpable pulse posterior to the medial malleolus
- Peroneal artery
- Branch of the tibioperoneal trunk
- Runs in the posterior compartment adjacent to the fibula
- Sends perforating branches to the lateral compartment
- Supplies the lateral compartment and contributes to ankle and heel anastomoses
- Arteries of the foot
- Dorsalis pedis artery
- Continuation of the anterior tibial artery
- Gives off the arcuate artery and deep plantar artery
- Plantar arteries
- Medial and lateral plantar arteries arise from the posterior tibial artery
- Lateral plantar artery contributes to the deep plantar arch
