20
Q

SURFACE ANATOMY of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

It is represented by the upper 2/3 of a line connecting the following 2 points:

  1. Mid-inguinal point
  2. Adductor tubercle
21
Q

A

Midway between A.S.I.S & symphysis pubis

22
Q

Site of mid point of inguinal ligament

A

Midway between A.S.I.S and pubic tubercle

23
Q

Site of Adductor tubercle in SURFACE ANATOMY of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

24
Q

SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

After ligature of femoral artery in the subsartorial canal, the collateral circulation is established through the anastomosis between:

  1. Descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery and descending genicular branch of femoral artery
  2. 4th. perforating branch of profunda & the muscular branches of the popliteal artery
25
Q

Descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

branch of profunda Femoris artery

  5. SURGICAL IMPORTANCE
27
Q

BEGINNING of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

As a continuation of femoral artery at the adductor hiatus.

28
Q

COURSE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

It descends as the deepest structure in the popliteal fossa lying on :

  1. Popliteal surface of femur
  2. Back of capsule of knee joint.
  3. Fascia covering popliteus muscle.
29
Q

TERMINATION of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

At the lower border of popliteus muscle by dividing into 2 terminal branches :

  1. Anterior tibial artery.
  2. Posterior tibial artery
30
Q

  2. Superior & inferior lateral genicular artery
  3. Middle genicular artery
33
Q

SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm

34
Q

The reason why Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

because of :

  1. A factor responsible for arterial wall changes
  2. A factor responsible for continuous traction
35
Q

A factor responsible for arterial wall changes in The reason why Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

The constant pulsations of the artery against the underlying tendon of adductor Magnus

36
Q

A factor responsible for continuous traction in The reason why Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

A

It’s fixed to the capsule of knee joint by a fibrous band just above the femoral condyles.
