Peroneal Artery

Version 1

Abstract

The peroneal artey was found to be well-developed in 31 of 209 cadavers, about 15% of legs. It may arise (unusually) in the distal leg. It may also be absent or replaced by the posterior tibial. On occasion it gives rise to the anterior tibial, or rejoins the posterior tibial. An accessory peroneal artery has also been noted.
