The elbow is traversed by the ulnar, median and radial nerves that cross through its posteromedial, anterior and lateral aspects respectively. In the elbow area, the median nerve is accompanied by the brachial artery, the radial nerve gives off a main motor branch, the posterior interosseous nerve, and the ulnar nerve travels across an osteofibrous tunnel, the cubital tunnel. 

The anterior ankle is traversed by the deep peroneal nerve and the anterior tibial artery. The deep peroneal nerve is the larger of the two terminal divisions of the common peroneal nerve. It enters the anterior ankle crossing the interosseous membrane together with the anterior tibial artery and veins, usually lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendons (Fig. 16.9). The anterior tibial artery, the smaller of the terminal branches of the popliteal artery, ends at the ankle joint, midway between the malleoli where it becomes the dorsalis pedis artery. It contributes to the blood supply of the ankle. 

The dorsalis pedis artery is the direct continuation of the anterior tibial artery and represents the main vascular supply for the toes it begins midway between the lateral and medial malleolus and runs anteromedially between the tendons of the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus to reach the first interosseous space. At the level of the tarsometatarsal joint, the dorsalis pedis artery gives off the first metatarsal artery and an arcuate artery which sends branches to the second, third, and fourth metatarsals. Lateral to the dorsalis pedis artery, the medial branch of the deep peroneal nerve is directed straight forward to reach the first intermetatarsal space.
