ascending branch
1.Along with the dorsal hand branch of ulnar nerve, the dorsal carpal branch of ulnar artery passes through the deep surface of flexor carpi ulnaris, leaning from the metacarpus to the ulnar side,forming an acute angle (38.60°±8.20°) with the dorsal hand branch of ulnar nerve, and then the dorsal carpal branch is divided into an ascending branch and a descending one.
5.Results: The superior malleolus cutaneous branch of the anterior artery was found in all specimens. The artery originated from the anterior tibial artery at the 3.5±0.6 cm proximal to the intermalleolus, runs proximally to the tibial cres, giving off ascending branches nourishing the soft tissue of the superior malleolus and descending branches.
