Pimenta's point
text:
Pimenta's point is an anatomical landmark for easy location of the posterior tibial artery or tibialis posterior artery. An imagined line is drawn between the bony prominence of the medial malleolus and the insertion of the achilles tendon. At the exact midpoint of this line place three fingers parallel to the leg and you will either feel the posterior tibial pulsation (normal) or will not.
