Definition[Bearbeiten]
The posterior tibial recurrent artery is a branch of the anterior tibial artery.
Course[Bearbeiten]
The posterior tibial recurrent artery is an inconstant branch that departs from the anterior tibial artery before this vessel intersects the free edge of the interosseous membrane. It rises cranially in front of the popliteus muscle and supplies this muscle. Its terminal branches anastomose with the inferior medial geniculate artery in the rete articulare genus and supply the tibiofibular articulation.
