Gross Anatomy Ankle+Foot Veins, Arteries, and Nerves

Great Saphenous Vein

Union of dorsal vein of great toe and dorsal venous arch of foot. Ascends anterior to medial malleolus

Small saphenous vein

Union of dorsal vein of little toe and dorsal venous arch. Ascends position to lateral malleolus

Medial and lateral plantar veins

Forms posterior tibial and fibulae veins

Dorsalis pedis artery

Begins Miya between malleolus, runs anteromedially. Divides into 1st dorsal metatarsal artery and deep plantar artery

Medial plantar artery

Terminal branch of posterior tibial artery

Lateral plantar artery

Terminal branch of posterior tibial artery. Runs laterally and anteriorly deep to AH then between FDB and Quadratus plantae
