		—The branches of the anterior tibial artery are:
		The medial malleolar net-work is formed by the anterior medial malleolar branch of the anterior tibial, the medial tarsal branches of the dorsalis pedis, the posterior medial malleolar and medial calcaneal branches of the posterior tibial and branches from the medial plantar artery.
		The lateral malleolar net-work is formed by the anterior lateral malleolar branch of the anterior tibial, the lateral tarsal branch of the dorsalis pedis, the perforating and the lateral calcaneal branches of the peroneal, and twigs from the lateral plantar artery.

	Anterior tibial artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In anatomy, the anterior tibial artery of the lower limb carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery.
		It is accompanied by a deep vein, the anterior tibial vein, along its course.
		It crosses the anterior aspect of the ankle joint, at which point it becomes the dorsalis pedis artery.

	Popliteal artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In human anatomy, the popliteal artery is defined as the extension of the femoral artery after passing through the adductor canal above the knee.
		It gives-off a branch to the lateral compartment of the leg, known as the peroneal artery and then bifurcates into the anterior tibial artery and posterior tibial artery.
		Embryologically, the popliteal artery is derived from the fetal sciatic artery, which is distinct from the femoral artery.

		It lies deep to the extensor retinaculum, descending with the anterior tibial artery on the anterior surface of the distal end of the tibia to pass lateral to the tendon of the extensor halluces longus muscle.
		For a block of the deep peroneal nerve, a skin wheal is made on the anterior aspect of the ankle lateral to the extensor halluces longus tendon approximately at the location of the anterior tibial artery.
		For a tibial nerve block, a skin wheal is made with a 27-G needle midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus posterior to the pulsation of the posterior tibial artery.

		It is attached anteriorly to the patella, the patellar ligament and the tibial tuberosity.
		The popliteal artery is the continuation of the femoral artery in the popliteal fossa.
		The significance of the perforating branch is that it supplies the tibiofibular syndesmosis and the ankle joint and as previously noted, anastomoses with the anterior lateral malleolar branch of the anterior tibial a.

	Duplex Imaging
		The peroneal artery terminates in the distal third of the calf and its branches communicate with branches of the posterior and anterior tibial arteries.
		The duplex imaging criteria for the normal arterial evaluation of the lower extremity is a triphasic Doppler signal from the abdominal aorta to the tibial arteries at the ankle.
		The peak velocity in the abdominal aorta is approximately 100 cm/sec and the velocity gradually decreases to 70 cm/sec in the popliteal artery.

		The foot is supplied mainly by the dorsalis pedis arteries (anterior tibial artery), and medial and lateral plantar arteries which arise from the posterior tibial artery.
		The anterior compartment of the leg consists of extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior, and peroneus tertius.
		The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the anterior displacement of the tibia whilst the posterior cruciate ligament prevents the posterior displace of the tibia.

		The tibial nerve (medial popliteal or posterior tibial nerve) separates from the common popliteal nerve at various distances from the popliteal fossa crease and joins the tibial artery behind the knee joint.
		It is positioned laterally and posteriorly to the posterior tibial artery, and midway between the posterior aspect of the medial malleolus and posterior aspect of the Achilles tendon.
		The sural nerve is a sensory nerve formed by the union of the medial sural nerve - a branch of the tibial nerve - and lateral sural nerve, a branch of the common peroneal nerve.

		Arterial Supply: Dorsal: Anterior tibial crosses ankle, crosses under extensor hallucis longus to become dorsalis pedis (palpate pulse between extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus tendons).
		Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments: attach to intercondylar ridge of tibia and condyles of femur.
		Because all of these except the (often tiny) foveolar artery enter at the distal neck of the femur, a fracture of the proximal neck may isolate the head from its main blood supply, with consequent necrosis.
