The fibular artery arises from the bifurcation of tibial-fibular trunk into the fibular and posterior

tibial arteries in the upper part of the leg proper, just below the knee. It runs towards the foot
in the deep posterior compartment of the leg, just medial to the fibula. It supplies a perforating
branch to both the lateral and anterior compartments of the leg; it also provides a nutrient
artery to the fibula. Some sources claim that the fibular artery arises directly from the posterior
tibial artery, but vascular and plastic surgeons note the clinical significance of the tibial-fibular
trunk.[2]

The fibular artery is accompanied by small veins (venae comitantes) known as fibular veins.
