Variations in the Branching Pattern of Femoral Artery: A Cadaveric Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is the variations in the branching pattern of femoral artery. Methodology: For the study material were consist of 25 lower limbs from adult human cadavers used for routine dissection procedure for under graduate students in Department of Anatomy, TMMC & RC, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Results: In this study, among the 25 specimens,19 specimens we found that origin of femoral artery coincided with the mid inguinal point & in 3 specimens the origin of femoral artery is lateral to the mid inguinal point, more towards midpoint of inguinal ligament. In the rest 3 specimens the origin of femoral artery was medial to mid inguinal point. Conclusion: It can be suggested by this study that the branching pattern of the femoral artery as reported will be definitely useful to the cardiologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons and vascular surgeons in their future endeavors.
