Abstract
- This study evaluated the anatomic relationship between the femur and the vessels that arise from the deep femoral artery, that is, the perforating arteries and the nutrient artery. Blue silicone dye was injected through the common femoral artery in 20 fresh human cadavers. An anteromedial and a posterolateral dissection were performed to identify the femoral perforating arteries and the nutrient artery of the femur. The length of the femur and the distances between the tip of the greater trochanter and the perforating arteries and nutrient artery were measured. This study showed that a reliable, clinically applicable topographic relationship exists between the femur and the perforating arteries and the nutrient artery.
