Anterior Tibial Recurrent Artery
The Anterior Tibial Recurrent Artery is a small branch of the anterior tibial artery that arises near the commencement of that vessel. It is one of the arteries of the lower limb and plays a crucial role in the blood supply to the knee joint.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The anterior tibial recurrent artery ascends to the front of the knee joint, running in the direction of the inferior extensor retinaculum. It anastomoses with the anterior lateral malleolar artery and the lateral inferior genicular artery, forming a part of the patellar network.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Due to its location and function, the anterior tibial recurrent artery can be involved in various clinical conditions, including peripheral arterial diseases, knee injuries, and compartment syndrome.
