Anatomy. 698 THE VASCULAR SYSTEMS The posterior recurrent tibial (a. recurrens tibialis posterior) is not a constant branch, and is given off from the anterior tibial before that vessel passes through the interosseous space. It ascends beneath the Popliteus muscle, which it supplies, and anastomoses with the lower articular branches of the popliteal artery, giving an offshoot to the superior tibiofibular joint. The superior fibular is sometimes given off from the anterior tibial, sometimes' from the posterior tibial. It passes outward, around the neck of the fibula, through the Soleus, which it supplies, and ends in the substance of the Peroneus longus. The anterior recurrent tibial (a. recurrens tibialis anterior) arises from the anterior tibial as soon as that vessel has passed through the interosseous space; it ascends in the Tibialis anticus muscle, and ramifies on the front and sides of the knee-joint, anastomosing with the articular branches of the popliteal, with the anastomotica magna, and the external articular branches of the popliteal assisting in the formation of the circumpatellar plexus. The muscular branches are numerous; they are distributed to the muscles which lie on each side of the vessel, some cutaneous branches piercing the deep fascia to supply the integument, others passing through the interosseous mem- brane, and anastomosing with branches of the posterior tibial and peroneal arteries. The internal malleolar branch (a. malleolaris anterior mediaUs) arises about two inches above the articulation, and passes beneath the tendons of the Extensor proprius hallucis and Tibialis anticus to the inner ankle, upon which it ramifies, anastomosing with branches of the posterior tibial and internal plantar arteries and with the internal calcanean from the posterior tibial. The external malleolar branch (a. malleolaris anterior lateralis) passes beneath the tendons of the Extensor longus digitorum and Peroneus tertius,
