No matter how hard I search, I cannot find a posterior tibial pulse. Is the pulse mythical or does it really exist? How do you locate it?
Should be palpable, but you are really 'getting fresh' with yourself to locate it.
In the field are these pulses check by a stethoscope or by hand?
Also if you suspect internal injuries to arteries, how often are distal pulses checked to see if there is a problem.
If there is a problem, shouldn't the blood pressure drop?
