Surgical significance of popliteal artery variants: a unified angiographic classification. Ann Surg 1989; 210:776–781 [12]) Type III-A: Posterior tibial artery is hypoplastic and peroneal artery is large. At ankle, distal posterior tibial artery is replaced to peroneal artery. Type III-B: Anterior tibial artery is hypoplastic and peroneal artery is large. At ankle, dorsalis pedis artery is replaced to peroneal artery. Type III-C: Both anterior tibial artery and posterior tibial artery are hypoplastic. At ankle, dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries are replaced to peroneal artery.
