Anatomy of the Peroneal Artery and its Role in Foot and Ankle Surgery
Understanding the anatomy of the peroneal artery, its branches and anatomical variations, with special mention of the dominant peroneal artery (arteria peronea magna), may help to avoid iatrogenic injury to the peroneal vascular bundle during the varied and increasing number of foot and ankle surgical procedures performed, such as posterior open reduction internal fixation of ankle fractures, ankle arthrodesis, or ankle arthroscopy.
