“…The medial circumflex femoral artery was absent in a female cadaver on the right side and its branches directly arose from femoral artery. [23,13,11]. The absence of circumflex femoral was 1% in this study which is comparable to that of Lengua.…”

Context: Many different patterns have been described to classify the origins of circumflex femoral arteries by many authors since from 1860.The aim of the present study was to classify the circumflex femoral arteries in 100 lower limbs of adult cadavers of both sexes following the recent classification and to compare with the previous studies. Materials and Methods:A total of 100 lower limbs of 50 embalmed human adult cadavers (Male: 37, Female: 13) were dissected and observed for the origins of circumflex femoral arteries in femoral triangle in routine educational dissection in the period of

“…Later, an even more complex classification of six possible types and three subtypes was created. Unfortunately, the initial classification was completely forgotten, while the latter one has occasionally been remembered by some authors, and new criteria for types or patterns have continued to be proposed based on it (Charles et al, 1930;Baird and Cope, 1933;Ming-Tzu, 1937;Chand and Singh, 1951;Videau et al, 1964;Leborgne et al, 1974;Marcade et al, 1978;Guillot et al, 1979;Lengua et al, 1980). The aim of this work was thus to propose a simplified and unified classification useful to clinicians by systematically reviewing the literature and including our own results, which are based on a large homogeneous sample of human cadavers.…”

Knowledge of variations of the circumflex femoral arteries is important when undertaking clinical procedures within the femoral region and in hip joint replacement. Since the 19th century, many different patterns have been proposed to classify their origins. This work studied a statistically reliable sample, the lower limbs of 221 embalmed human cadavers (equal right-left and approximately equal sex distributions), and reviewed the previous literature to propose a unified and simple classification that will be useful to clinicians. Statistical comparisons were made using the chi(2) test. The medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries have been classified into three different patterns based on the levels of their origin. Distribution related to sex and side was also studied. Pattern I: Both arteries arose from the deep femoral artery (346 cases, 78.8%). This pattern was more frequent in females, P = 0.01. There was no significant difference between sides. Type Ia, medial circumflex femoral artery origin was proximal to the lateral circumflex femoral artery origin (53.2%); Type Ib, lateral circumflex femoral artery origin was proximal to medial circumflex femoral artery origin (23.4%); Type Ic, both arteries arose from a common trunk (23.4%). Pattern II: One of the arteries arose from the femoral artery and the other from the deep femoral artery (90 cases, 20.5%). Type IIa, the medial circumflex femoral artery arose from the femoral artery (77.8%) and Type IIb, the lateral circumflex femoral artery arose from the femoral artery (22.2%). There were no significant differences between sexes or sides. Pattern III: Both arteries arose from the femoral artery (2 cases, 0.5%). In every disposition there was a significantly higher prevalence of unilateral rather than bilateral occurrence. In one dissection the medial circumflex femoral artery was absent. Awareness of these variations could avoid unexpected injuries.

Variational anatomy of the deep femoral artery

The deep femoral artery is frequently incorporated in vascular reconstructive procedures in the proximal leg. To study the branching variations of this artery, we dissected 100 legs and then classified the anatomical patterns. The deep femoral artery originates a median distance of 4.4 cm from the inguinal ligament. The origin of the lateral circumflex artery varied greatly. When it branched from the deep femoral, the origin of the lateral circumflex was 1.5 cm (median) from the origin of the deep femoral. The medial circumflex artery originated from the deep femoral in 63% of the specimens. It arose separately from the common femoral and more proximally in 26% of the specimens, branching an average of 2.15 cm (median) above the deep femoral origin. Familiarity with these variations is essential to the vascular surgeon and,therefore, we have included diagrams based on our study as a ready reference.
