tibiofibular trunk

The tibioperoneal or TP trunk, occasionally referred to as the tibiofibular trunk, is the direct continuation of the popliteal artery in the posterior upper leg after the anterior tibial artery origin. It is a short trunk that bifurcates into two terminal branches.

Summary

origin: continuation of the popliteal artery
main branch: usually none
termination: bifurcates into fibular and posterior tibial arteries
supply: leg and foot

Variant anatomy

The TP trunk may be absent if the popliteal artery terminates as a trifurcation.
