Dorsalis pedis artery
The dorsalis pedis artery is located 1/3 from medial malleolus of the ankle.The dorsalis pedis artery supplies oxygenated blood to the dorsal side of the foot.[1] The dorsalis pedis artery pulse can be palpated readily lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon (or medially to the extensor digitorum longus tendon) on the dorsal surface of the foot, distal to the dorsal most prominence of the navicular bone which serves as a reliable landmark for palpation.[3] It is often examined, by physicians, when assessing whether a given patient has peripheral vascular disease.[2] The dorsalis pedis artery is at risk when injecting anaesthetic into the deep peroneal nerve.
