It anastomoses with the perforating branch of the peronseal artery and with the tarsal artery, and supplies the ankle-joint and the adjacent articulations. Dorsalis Pedis Artery.—The dorsal artery of the foot is the direct continuation of the anterior tibial; it commences opposite the front of the ankle-joint, and extends to the posterior Anterior tibial artery Extensor — hallucis longus Tibialis anterior Peromeus brevis Extensor digitorum Anterior peronseal artery Lateral malleolar artery Medial — malleolar artery extremity of the first in- terosseous space, where it divides into the first dorsal metatarsal and the pro- funda branch. It is covered super- ficially by skin and fascia, including the cruciate ligament, and it is crossed, just before it reaches the first interosseous space, by the most medial tendon of the extensor digitorum brevis. It rests upon the anterior ligament of the ankle, the head of the talus, the talo-navicular ligament, the dorsum of the navicular bone, and the dorsal naviculo-cuneiform and the inter-cuneiform ligaments between the first and second cuneiform bones. On its lateral side is the medial terminal branch of the deep pero- nseal nerve ( anterior tibial), which intervenes between it and the ex- tensor digitorum brevis and most medial tendon of the extensor digitorum longus. On its medial side it is in relation with the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus. Two vense comites, one on each side, accompany the artery. Branches. — On the dorsum of the foot the dorsalis pedis artery gives off cutaneous branches, lateral and medial tarsal branches, the arcuate branch, and the first dorsal metatarsal and the profunda branch.
