A Variant Origin of Profunda Femoris Artery and a Common Stem for the origin of Medial and Lateral Circumflex Arteries – A Case Report
Abstract
The variations of the profunda and its branches are numerous and to a considerable extent, largely associated with one another. In occlusion of the superficial femoral artery, the profunda femoris artery forms an effective collateral bed between the ileo-femoral segment and the popliteal artery and its branches. Acharya Sushrutha has clearly mentioned about the importance of dissection., One who is intended to acquire definite knowledge of surgery should keenly study the anatomy from the books as well as from the dissection. Femoral artery is the most important artery supplying the lower limb and in case of cadavers this artery is used for the embalmment procedure. During the routine dissection classes for the UG’s, a variation was observed in the origin of profunda femoris and a common stem for the origin of medial and lateral circumflex arteries in the left lower limb.
