Abstract
Background: Aim: To assess anatomical variations of profundafemoris artery in Indian population.Methods:45 embalmed lower extremities adult human cadavers age range of 30� years were recruited for the study. The femoral triangles were dissected with proper care to identify the profundafemoris and circumflex femoral arteries. Their source of origin, position, and distance were noted with the mid-inguinal point (MIP) as a reference point.Results:Side of profundafemoris artery (PFA) was postero- lateral in 60%, posterior in 30%, lateral in 5% and absent in 5%. Medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) had 65%, 15%, 12% and 8% and lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) had 80%, 15%, 5% and 0% respectively. Origin of profundafemoris artery (PFA) was FA in 90% and common trunk with medial circumflex femoral artery in 10%. Origin of Medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) was FA in 55%, PFA in 40% and FA with common trunk with MCFA in 5%. Origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) was femoral artery in 70%, PFA in 20% and FA with common trunk with PFA in 10%. A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05).Conclusions:A thorough knowledge of variation of profunda femoral artery is of great importance and to avoid complications.
