Artery Plantar Medial

The plantar medial artery (a. plantaris medialis) is one of the arteries that provides blood supply to the foot. It is a branch of the posterior tibial artery and runs inside the foot, connecting with other arteries and veins.

The medial plantar artery plays an important role in the blood supply to the foot, providing blood to the muscles and bones of the foot. It is also involved in supplying the skin and tissues of the foot with oxygen and nutrients.

The anatomical location of the plantar medial artery may vary depending on the individual structure of the foot. However, in general, it runs from the back of the foot through the medial side to the front.

Treatment and diagnosis of pathology of the plantar medial artery can be difficult due to its hidden location. However, if problems arise with blood circulation in the foot, the doctor may recommend angiography, ultrasound, or other diagnostic methods.

Overall, the medial plantar artery is an important artery that supplies the foot and is involved in maintaining foot health and function.

Plantar medial artery (English: plantar middle artery, also called a. digitale media or a. distal), another name: a. calcanea medialis is a small vessel with a diameter of no more than 5 mm. supplies the back of the foot and is a branch of a. dorsalis pedis.

The artery starts from a. poplitea, lies in the popliteal hollow and through a. tibiapoplitea divides into two terminal branches, one of which continues as
