The findings of our study may be helpful for surgeons and radiologists to avoid possible errors in interpretations and subsequent misdiagnosis, and to assist in planning appropriate surgical approaches.

In present study posterolateral and lateral side of origin is noted as common site of origin of profunda femoris artery. Rare variation like medial side origin of profunda Femoris artery was observed and it coursed on femoral vein. Very high incidence of high level of origin of profunda femoris artery was found. In one of the high origin limb profunda femoris artery originated from anterolateral side and all superficial branches of thigh took origin from it. Such variation is unique. Hence, this study will help the clinicians to avoid iatrogenic complications and also help them in various clinical procedures like puncture of femoral artery for interventional radiology.
