The anterior tibial artery courses inferiorly along the interosseous membrane and lateral to the tibialis anterior muscle. It then passes in front of the ankle joint and continues as the dorsalis pedis artery onto the dorsum of the foot.
Ultrasound. Non-invasive technique and most widely used as the first step in any patient with claudication pain, particularly the ankle brachial index. B-Mode ultrasonography can evaluate the arterial wall as well as the luminal stenosis by measuring diameter and surface area reduction.
A branch of dorsalis pedis artery gives off three to five smaller branches which supply the navicular from the medial side. On the lateral aspect of the bone, small branches arise from the posterior tibial artery .
The popliteal artery is the direct continuation of the superficial femoral artery, at the point where it exits the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus, and passes into the popliteal fossa as the vessel courses posteriorly behind the knee.
The femoral artery (FA) (TA: arteria femoralis) 6 is the continuation of the external iliac artery (EIA) below the level of the inguinal ligament. As well as supplying oxygenated blood to the lower limb, it gives off smaller branches to the anterior abdominal wall and superficial pelvis.
The anterior compartment under the extensor retinaculum is the tibialis anterior tendon, extensor hallucis longus tendon, dorsalis pedis artery, deep peroneal nerve, extensor digitorum longus tendon. The peroneal compartment consists of peroneus longus, peroneus brevis, the sural nerve, and the terminal branch of peroneal artery.
Doppler waveforms refer to the morphology of pulsatile blood flow velocity tracings on spectral Doppler ultrasound. Waveforms differ by the vascular bed (peripheral, cerebrovascular, and visceral circulations) and the presence of disease.
Intimal calcific disease of the tibioperoneal trunk, anterior and posterior tibial arteries and peroneal artery. Otherwise the right lower limb arteries enhance normally with normal contrast opacification of the dorsalis pedis and the posterior tibial artery at the level of the ankle/foot.
posterior tibial artery into the medial side of body and sinus. anterior tibial artery / dorsalis pedis artery into head and neck. peroneal artery into the lateral side of the body and sinus. The vascular supply to the talus is considered tenuous due to the lack of muscular attachment to the bone 1.
An os vesalianum pedis is an accessory ossicle of the foot. Although asymptomatic, it may become symptomatic occasionally, causing lateral foot pain and requiring surgical excision 2. Gross anatomy. It is formed as a result of failed fusion of the secondary ossification centre of the metatarsal.
