The anterior tibial artery of the leg carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery.

It is accompanied by 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.

Course

Back of left lower extremity, showing origin of anterior tibial artery before it continues on the anterior side.

The artery originates at the distal end of the popliteus muscle posterior to the tibia. The artery typically passes anterior to the popliteus muscle prior to passing between the tibia and fibula through an oval opening at the superior aspect of the interosseus membrane. The artery then descends between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.

Branches

The branches of the anterior tibial artery are:

posterior tibial recurrent artery
anterior tibial recurrent artery
muscular branches
anterior medial malleolar artery
anterior lateral malleolar artery
dorsalis pedis artery

Clinical importance

As the artery passes medial to the fibular neck it becomes vulnerable to damage during a tibial osteotomy.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum with prominent arterial calcifications evoking CD73 deficiency.

Devriese M, Legrand A, Courtois MC, Jeunemaitre X, Albuisson J.
Vascular medicine (London, England). 2019 Jun;()1358863X19853360.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare disorder characterized by skin, eye, and cardiovascular lesions due to ectopic mineralization and fragmentation of elastic fibers of connective tissues. We present an atypical case of PXE with diffuse vascular calcification and negligible skin and eye lesions
