Art. genu suprema ( anastomotic) Superior medial genicular artery Inferior medial genicular artery Tibialis anterior Gastrocnemius It runs upwards and later- ally, behind the neck of the fibula and through the fibres of the soleus, and it ter- minates in branches which supply the soleus, the pero- nseus longus, and the skin of the proximal and lateral part of the leg. It anasto- moses with the inferior lateral genicular artery. (2) The posterior tibial recurrent branch, also small, and not always present, runs upwards, an- terior to the popliteus muscle, to the back of the knee-joint. It anastomoses wuth the inferior genicular branches of the popliteal, and gives branches to the popliteus muscle and the proximal tibio-fibular articulation. (3) The recurrent from the anterior tibial branch arises anterior tibial artery in front of the inter- osseous membrane. It runs proximally and medially, be- tween the proximal part of the tibialis anterior and the lateral condyle of the tibia, accompanied by the recur- rent articular branch of the common peroneeal nerve, and, after supplying the tibialis anterior and the proximal tibio-fibular articu- lation, it pierces the deep fascia of the leg ; it is con- nected with the anastomoses round the knee-joint, formed by the genicular branches of the popliteal artery,
