24
Q

SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb

Study These Flashcards
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
Descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Femoral Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
branch of profunda Femoris artery
26
Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
1. BEGINNING 2. COURSE 3. TERMINATION 4. BRANCHES 5. SURGICAL IMPORTANCE
27
BEGINNING of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
As a continuation of femoral artery at the adductor hiatus.
28
COURSE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
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
TERMINATION of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
At the lower border of popliteus muscle by dividing into 2 terminal branches : 1. Anterior tibial artery. 2. Posterior tibial artery
30
Alternative name for Posterior tibial artery in TERMINATION of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
Tibio-peroneal trunk
31
BRANCHES of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
a. Muscular branches | b. Genicular branches
32
Genicular branches in BRANCHES of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
1. Superior & inferior medial genicular artery 2. Superior & inferior lateral genicular artery 3. Middle genicular artery
33
SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm
34
The reason why Popliteal artery is a common site of aneurysm in SURGICAL IMPORTANCE of Popliteal Artery in Arteries of the Lower Limb
because of : 1. A factor responsible for arterial wall changes 2. A factor responsible for continuous traction
35
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
The constant pulsations of the artery against the underlying tendon of adductor Magnus
36
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
It's fixed to the capsule of knee joint by a fibrous band just above the femoral condyles.
