Ligature of the Peroneal Artery (Fig. 66). The course of the vessel isindicatecl by a line continued from the popliteal artery down along the inner part ofthe posterior surface of the fibula. The posterior surface of the fibula may be feitthrough the skin along the whole length of the leg. The incisions for ligaturing theartery are made along a line drawn from the posterior border of the head of the fibulato a point midway between the external malleolus and the tendo Achillis. (a) In the upper halj. Incision is made behind the muscular projection of theperonei muscles down to the posterior surface of the fibula, which can be readily nervus communicans fibularis is observed running downwards along the outerborder of the gastrocnemius, the soleus lying deeper.
