Peripheral pulses can be felt at four locations in the lower limb (Fig. 6.138): femoral pulse in the femoral triangle—femoral artery inferior to the inguinal ligament and midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis; popliteal pulse in the popliteal fossa—popliteal artery deep in the popliteal fossa near the midline; posterior tibial pulse in the tarsal tunnel—posterior tibial artery posteroinferior to the medial malleolus in the groove between the medial malleolus and the heel (calcaneal tuberosity); dorsalis pedis pulse on the dorsal aspect of the foot—dorsalis pedis artery as it passes distally over the tarsal bones between the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus and the tendon of the extensor digitorum longus to the second toe.
