Artery Plantar Tibial

The plantar tibial artery (a. plantaris tibialis) is a branch of the deep femoral artery that passes through the plantar fascia and supplies the sole of the foot with blood. It is one of the largest arteries in the foot and is essential for maintaining foot function and health.

The plantar tibial artery arises from the posterior wall of the deep inguinal ring and passes down and medially to the sole of the foot. Along its path, it crosses several muscles such as the flexor hallucis longus, flexor hallucis longus, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor hallucis longus.

The blood supply to the plantar fascia comes primarily from the plantar tibial artery, as well as from other small arteries that pass through the plantar fascia. When the plantar tibial artery becomes too narrow or narrowed, it can impair circulation in the foot and cause various diseases such as thrombosis or ischemia.

To maintain foot health and prevent circulatory problems, it is important to monitor the condition of the plantar tibial artery. This may include regular checkups with your doctor or the use of special devices to measure your blood pressure. It is also important to monitor your lifestyle to avoid factors that can lead to narrowing or blockage of the plantar tibial artery, such as smoking, being overweight, poor diet and lack of physical activity.

Overall, the plantar tibial artery is an important artery in the foot that supplies blood to the foot and keeps it healthy. Its condition and functioning can affect the health of the foot and even the overall health of a person. Therefore, it is important to monitor its condition and take measures to maintain it.

Plantar tibial artery

**The plantar artery of the tibia** (human anatomy) is one of the paired arteries of the middle layer of the foot. It arises from the posterior tibial artery and carries blood to the upper third of the foot, as well as to the popliteal and knee arteries, providing blood circulation to the foot, leg bones and femoral bone marrow, muscles, joints and tendons, and supplies blood to the walls of the ankle joint and heel.
