Expansion
Just behind and below the medial malleolus
Expansion
- Feel behind and just below the medial malleolus, roughly halfway between the malleolus and the heel
- The artery passes here through the tarsal tunnel with the tibial nerve and the long flexor tendons
- A present posterior tibial pulse is a useful sign of adequate foot perfusion
Remember the tarsal tunnel order (Tom, Dick and Very Nervous Harry) to see how the artery sits among its neighbours.
