Veins Tibial Posterior

Posterior tibial veins are veins that are located on the back surface of the tibia. They are part of the venous system of the leg and are involved in the drainage of blood from the lower extremities.

The tibial veins begin at the back of the leg, pass through the tibia and drain into the popliteal vein. They collect blood from the muscles of the leg and foot, as well as from the skin and bones of the foot.

The posterior tibial veins play an important role in the blood circulation of the lower leg and foot. They help maintain normal blood pressure and prevent blood clots. In addition, they are involved in the metabolism between blood and tissues of the foot.

Diseases of the posterior tibial veins may cause swelling of the lower leg and foot, pain and discomfort in the legs. Treatment for these conditions includes the use of medications, compression stockings, physical therapy, and surgery.

It is important to remember that the posterior tibial veins are an important element of the human venous system. Therefore, if you notice any changes in the functioning of the posterior tibial veins, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Posterior tibial veins The veins form a deep venous network on the dorsum of the foot, in the area of ​​​​the joints of the foot with the lower leg and are connected with the veins of the lower limb and superficial veins. They are tributaries of the deep venous system of humans.

They emerge from the capsule of the fibula together with the edge of the tendon of the peroneal muscle and the muscular aponeurosis. In this case, they often fall on the inner ankle. They extend beyond the dorsal surface of the fibula, but are covered (in front and on the sides) by the extensors of the foot and the abductor muscles, and bend medially around the tibialis anterior muscle.

They form a deep venous arch (arch, Latin arcus venosus profundus), lying in the intermuscular space between the inner head of the triceps surae muscle and the anterior tibial muscle, then continue their course through a common trunk with the anterior tibial veins and interosseous veins of the anterior surface of the leg.
