ABSTRACT:

Background:  During clinical procedure to prevent damage, anatomical knowledge of the common femoral artery, profunda femoris artery (PFA) and the circumflex arteries is essential.

Material and Methods: Present study was done on 40 lower limbs (20 left and 20 right) in Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh. Dissection was done as per the guidelines in Chunighums.

Aim:  Present study was done to discuss variations in branching pattern of FA, PFA and also their embryological and clinical significances.

Results: In the present study, we observed that length of FA (Femoral artery) commonly placed “between” 310-350 mm in  55% (22 cases in which 14 right & 8 cases on left side) whereas outer circumferential diameter is commonly placed “between” 16 -20 mm in 52.5% (21 cases) 10 right & 11 left lower limbs and detailed finding are discussed with literature.

Conclusions : This study will be very helpful to the surgeons, radiologist and plastic surgeons to understand possible variations and also will be very useful in reducing the chances of intra-operative secondary haemorrhage and post-operative complications.

KEY WORDS: Common femoral artery, Profunda femoris artery (PFA), Circumflex arteries.
