Anterior tibial vein

In human anatomy, there are two anterior tibial veins.

They originate and receive blood from the dorsal venous arch, on the back of the foot and empties into the popliteal vein.

[1] The two anterior tibial veins ascend in the interosseous membrane between the tibia and fibula and unite with the posterior tibial veins to form the popliteal vein.

Like most deep veins in legs, anterior tibial veins are accompanied by the homonym artery, the anterior tibial artery, along its course.
