Anatomical terminology [edit on Wikidata]

The anterior lateral malleolar artery (lateral anterior malleolar artery, external malleolar artery) is an artery in the ankle.

The anterior lateral malleolar artery is a branch of the anterior tibial artery. It passes beneath the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius and supplies the lateral side of the ankle. It forms anastomoses^{[broken anchor]} with the perforating branch of the fibular artery, and with ascending twigs from the lateral tarsal artery.
