Profunda Femoris

Profunda Femoris Artery (PFA) arises from lateral aspect of femoral artery 3.5 cm distal to inguinal ligament. It gives lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries from lateral and medial aspect respectively. Following variation was reported in right lower limb of a 60 year male cadaver, during routine dissection for medical students. Profunda Femoris Artery (PFA) arose from lateral aspect of femoral artery 1 cm distal to inguinal ligament, running laterally and down words parallel to femoral artery the profunda femoris passed beneath rectus femoris, sartorius and vastus medialis successively, finally pierced adductor magnus as forth perforator artery, 6 cm above knee joint.

Introduction – Profunda femoris is the main course of supply to the muscles of thigh area. It is the biggest part of femoral supply route in the thigh region. It gives out branches named medial circumex femoral and lateral circumex femoral and four perforating branches and proceeds as the fourth perforating branch in the mid of thigh. A variation regarding the branching pattern of profunda femoris artery was observed with an origin of medial and lateral circumex arteries is been seen in a formalin embalmed 55 years of age female cadaver during typical dissection procedure in the dissection hall. Methods - The study was undertaken on lower limb of a fully embalmed 55years old female cadaver in the department of anatomy, used for routine dissection for teaching undergraduate and post graduate medical students. Result - In this female cadaver on left side of lower limb, there was an uncommon origin of lateral circumex femoral artery directly from the femoral artery with a normal emergence of medial circumex femoral artery from profunda femoris artery. While on the right side of the same Cadaver, the profunda femoris artery arose at usual distance i.e., 3.7cm below inguinal ligament, from posterolateral aspect of femoral artery and then it bifurcates into lateral and medial circumex femoral artery. Conclusion - Current examination will assist the clinicians to bypass iatrogenic inconveniences during a surgical procedure and will likewise help them in methodology for interventional radiology around this region.

The variations of the profunda and its branches are numerous and to a considerable extent, largely associated with one another. In occlusion of the superficial femoral artery, the profunda femoris artery forms an effective collateral bed between the ileo-femoral segment and the popliteal artery and its branches. Acharya Sushrutha has clearly mentioned about the importance of dissection., One who is intended to acquire definite knowledge of surgery should keenly study the anatomy from the books as well as from the dissection. Femoral artery is the most important artery supplying the lower limb and in case of cadavers this artery is used for the embalmment procedure. During the routine dissection classes for the UG’s, a variation was observed in the origin of profunda femoris and a common stem for the origin of medial and lateral circumflex arteries in the left lower limb.

INTRODUCTION: The Profunda Femoris Artery (PFA) is a large branch arises from the lateral or posterolateral part of the Femoral Artery (FA), about 3 to 5cm below the inguinal ligament. The PFA is in close proximity to femoral vessels in the femoral triangle the precise anatomical knowledge of PFA and its branches is of great signicance in preventing profuse haemorrhage, pseudo aneurysms and traumatic AV stulae while doing any procedures or surgeries in that area. AIM & OBJECTIVES: To study the anatomical variations in source of origin, site of origin and distance of origin from midpoint of inguinal ligament of PFA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present observational study was conducted on the dissection of 70 lower limbs of 35 adult cadavers (27 male & 8 female) in the Department of Anatomy S.V.S Medical College, Mahabubnagar over a period of 2 years. Contents of the femoral triangle were dissected as per Cunningham's manual. The source of origin, site, distance of origin from mid points of inguinal ligament and course of PFA were noted. Collected data was analysed statistically. RESULTS: In the present study the PFA was arising from the femoral artery in all these 70 Lower Limbs. The commonest site of origin of PFA was postero lateral side of femoral artery in 17 (48.6%) Limbs on right side, 16(45.8%) limbs on left side, followed by lateral side of FA in14(40%) limbs on right side, 12(34.3%) limbs on left side ,followed by posterior in 4(11.4%) limbs on each side. The PFA was originating from medial side of FA only in 3 (4.29%) left limbs The PFA was taking origin below the inguinal ligament most commonly at the distance of 3-4cm in 10(29) limbs on right side, 15(43%) limbs on left side and at 4-5cm in 8(23%) limbs on right side, 5(14%) limbs on left side, at 2-3cm in 8 (23%) limbs on right side, 6(17%) limbs on left side, at 5-7cm in 3(8.5%) limbs on right in 1 (3%) limbs on left side. The PFA was taking origin higher level with in 2cm below the midpoint of inguinal ligament in 6 (17%) limbs on right side, 8(23%) limbs on left side. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge of site and level of origin of Profundafemoris artery helps in avoiding the formation of iatrogenic femoral arteriovenous stula (0.1-1.5%) while performing femoral artery puncture during femoral puncture, cardiac catheterisation and radiological procedures

Atherosclerotic true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and profunda femoris artery (PFA) are rare and difficult to detect. The synchronous presence of SFA and PFA aneurysms is even rarer. Herein, we present a case with ipsilateral true SFA and PFA aneurysms diagnosed with rupture. A review of the international literature is made, and the diagnosis and treatment options of this rare condition are discussed. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with an aneurysm on the distal SFA and the ipsilateral PFA, as well as a hematoma around the PFA. It was difficult to determine the source of the rupture before surgery, even with proper imaging. Successful ligation of the PFA and an aneurysmectomy followed by a bypass grafting for the SFA were performed. An intraoperative examination revealed that the SFA aneurysm had ruptured. In elderly males with a history of ectasia or aneurysm on the aorta or peripheral arteries, a synchronous aneurysm on the SFA or the PFA should be suspected.

Introduction Textbook representations of the genicular arterial anastomosis show a large direct communication between the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DBLCFA) and a genicular branch of the popliteal artery but this is not compatible with clinical experience. The aim of this study was to determine whether the arterial anastomosis at the knee is sufficient, in the event of traumatic disruption of the superficial femoral artery, to infuse protective agents or to place a stent to restore flow to the lower leg. Methods Dissection of ten cadaveric lower limbs was performed to photograph the arterial anatomy from the inguinal ligament to the tibial tubercle. Anastomosis with branches of the popliteal artery was classified as: ‘direct communication’, ‘approaching communication’ or ‘no evident communication’. Results A constant descending artery in the lateral thigh (LDAT) was found to have five types of origin: Type 1 (2/10 limbs) involved the lateral circumflex femoral branch of the femoral artery, Type 2 (3/10 limbs) the lateral circumflex femoral branch of the profunda femoris artery, Type 3 (1/10 limbs) the femoral artery, Type 4 (3/10 limbs) the superficial femoral artery and Type 5 (2/10 limbs) the profunda femoris artery. In one limb, there were two descending arteries (Types 4 and 5). Collateral circulation at the knee was also variable: direct communicating vessels (3/10 limbs); approaching vessels with possible communication via capillaries (5/10 limbs); no evident communication (2/10 limbs). Communicating vessels, if present, are too small to provide immediate collateral circulation. Conclusions Modern representations of the genicular arterial anastomosis are inaccurate, derived commonly from an idealised image that first appeared Gray’s Anatomy in 1910. The afferent vessel is not the DBLCFA. The majority of subjects have the potential to recruit collateral circulation via the LDAT following gradual obstruction to normal arterial flow, which may be important if the LDAT is removed for bypass or flap surgery. A direct communication is rarely present and is never as robust as generally depicted in textbooks.

Lower Limb Rehabilitation

We propose a lower limb rehabilitation device to assist people with impairment in regaining the ability of legs. The device consists of links and the installation of springs, the features are as follows: (1) it is semi-passive and home-based, allowing stroke patients to conduct lower limb movement under their own control; (2) the structure is simple and the weight is light, but it has the similar benefit as other therapeutic robots; (3) Biodex and Electromyography (EMG) are utilized to analyze the device. The result shows rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles are well trained.
