- Discussion:
- largest branch of the
posterior tibial artery
is peroneal artery arising high in leg and
coursing downward in posterior compartment lateral to and deeper than the
posterior tibial artery;
- lies in the
deep posterior compartment, just medial to fibula, just posterior to
tibialis posterior, and just anterior to the
FHL;
- sends numerous branches to adjacent muscles;
- sends branches through the interosseous membrane to muscles in the
anterior compartment & nutrient artery to fibula;
-
lateral compartment
of leg has no artery proper to it;
- after sending off an anterior
perforating artery peroneal artery ends
as lateral calcaneal artery;
