Objective- To study the variations in origin of profunda femoris artery and its branches in cadavers. Materials and Methods - In the present study, dissection was performed on 60 lower extremities of 30 embalmed cadavers in the department of anatomy, Dr.D.Y.Patil Medical college, Kolhapur. Prevalence of the mode and configurations of origins of the profunda femoris artery, medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries were observed. Result- In our study we found that Profunda femoris artery was originating from the femoral artery 37.12 mm distal to the midpoint of the inguinal ligament. The lateral and medial femoral circumflex arteries were originating directly from femoral artery in 15% and 22% of extremities respectively. Conclusion- Clinicians and surgeons should be fully aware with such variations while performing any invasive, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.Downloads
