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 .
Pimenta's point is an anatomical landmark for easy location of the posterior tibial artery or tibialis posterior artery (a peripheral pulse on the inside of the ankle). An imagined line is drawn between the bony prominence of the medial malleolus and the insertion of the achilles tendon .
Dorsalis pedis artery pulse – on dorsal surface of the foot, running lateral to the tendon of the first toe; Posterior tibial artery pulse – posterior and inferior to the medial malleolus; Popliteal artery pulse – behind the knee, typically done with both hands
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 artery. [2] It is covered by skin and fascia, but is fairly superficial. [2]
In medicine, the pulse is the rhythmic throbbing of each artery in response to the cardiac cycle (heartbeat). [1] The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), wrist (radial artery or ulnar artery), at the groin (femoral artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), near the ankle joint ...

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]
