Popliteal entrapment Type 1
Popliteal artery completes its development before migration of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle which then pushes the artery medically during migration. Popliteal artery lies medically to normal location
Popliteal entrapment Type II
Artery is discplace medically but the gastrocnemius muscle has a variable attachment on the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle or intercondyllar area.
The artery forms prematurely and partially arrests the migration of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in the artery being positioned medical to abnormally attached muscle
Popliteal entrapment Type III
Abnormal muscle slip or band that arises from either media or lateral femora condyle.
Embryologic remnants of the gastrocnemius muscle remain posterior to the popliteal artery or the artery develops within this muscle mass
Popliteal entrapment Type IV
Persistence of the axial artery as the nature distal popliteal artery. This remnant remains in the embryologic position deep to the popliteal muscle and fibrous band
Popliteal entrapment Type V
Both artery and vein are involved or entrapped via any of the previously described mechanisms
Popliteal entrapment Type VI
Functional entrapment
Compression of artery with stress maneuvers in the absence of an explanatory anatomical abnormality
