Abstract Background: The profunda femoris artery (PFA) is a branch of femoral artery which plays an important role in the arterial supply of the thigh. An extensive knowledge of the branching pattern and relations are necessary for clinicians to prevent any iatrogenic damage to these blood vessels and the surrounding structures in vascular reconstructive surgeries. Objective: To study the direction of origin of PFA from femoral artery and measure DIP- the distance between the origin of PFA from femoral artery to midpoint of inguinal ligament. Materials and Methods: Forty six femoral triangles (23 on right & 23 on left side) were dissected and studied in embalmed cadavers available in dissection hall of K. S. Hegde Medical Academy, Mangalore, India over a period of two years from July 2011 to July 2013. These cadavers were of South Indian origin. The direction of origin of PFA from femoral artery was noted. The DIP was measured using Vernier caliper. Results: The direction of origin of the PFA in majority of the cases was found to be from the posterolateral side (65.22%) of femoral artery. The DIP varies from 25 to 50 mm on the right and 24 to 60 mm on the left side. In 50 % of the cases, the DIP was in the range of 41 to 50 mm on both the sides. Conclusion: The anatomical data obtained here is of importance for surgeons and radiologists for procedures centred on the PFA and in vascular reconstructive surgeries involving the groin.

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.

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.
