Abstract
In a combined radiographic-anatomic study, the anterior tibial artery in a stillborn male was a branch of the posterior tibial at about its midpoint. it gave off an unusual lateral calcaneal vessel that coursed initially in the musculoperoneal canal. The variations are discussed in the context of the complex embryologic development of the blood sup ply to the lower limb.
