Variations in the branching pattern of the
popliteal artery, A. poplitea.
a Common trunk of the anterior and posterior tibial artery,
Aa. tibiales anterior et posterior, along with the fibular
artery, A. fibularis
b The popliteal artery, A. poplitea, branches off proximally to
the superior border of the popliteal muscle, M. popliteus.
c Posterior tibial and fibular artery, Aa. tibialis posterior
et fibularis, originate from a common proximal trunk,
d
The anterior tibial artery, A. tibialis anterior,
passes ventrally to the popliteal muscle, M. popliteus.
