Tibial-fibular trunk

Artery: Tibial-fibular trunk

Picture of arteries of the lower limb, showing fibular artery and its source, the posterior tibial artery. The perforating branch of fibular artery is also shown. (Tibial-fibular trunk visible but not labeled.)

Tibial-fibular trunk, also tibial-peroneal trunk^[1] is a term used to describe the posterior tibial artery distal to the origin of the anterior tibial artery and proximal to the origin of the fibular artery.^[2]
