Artery Interosseous Perforating

Interosseous artery piercing

**Interosseous perforated artery** (_a. interossia perforаns_) - a branch of the saphenous artery. Is a continuation of a. recurrens and gives rise to the posterior interosseous canal.

It begins behind at the border of the middle and distal third of the intermuscular septum of the leg. Directing from the front to the interosseous space, the artery pierces the interosseous membrane and, in the form of a narrow leg, passes medially from the interosseous membrane to the posterior surface of the forearm, then runs along the posterior surface of the radial edge of the forearm to the lateral side of the metacarpal bone of the first phalanx of the thumb and then between the skin and the interscalene ligament located between the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the olecranon process of the ulna, and laterally crosses the axillary artery. The end section of the artery pierces the lateral inter
