Abstract
Occasionally, the distal peroneal artery is the only graftable below-the-knee vessel available for limb salvage; in such cases, surgical exposure of this artery can pose a major technical difficulty. The following article describes a simple, satisfactory method of exposure via the anterior compartment that does not necessitate the removal or fracture of a bone. (Texas Heart Institute Journal 1987; 14:297-299)
