The variable origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery: a meta-analysis and proposal for a new classification system [PDF]
The lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) is responsible for vascularisation of the head and neck of the femur, greater trochanter, vastus lateralis and the knee. The origin of the LCFA has been reported to vary significantly throughout the literature,

A study of anomalous origin of medial circumflex femoral artery and its significance
Background: Femoral artery, a branch of external iliac artery, is the blood supply to the anterior compartment of the thigh. Its branch, medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA), supplies the head and neck of femur, adductor muscles and the acetabular pad

Variation in the origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery
Introduction: The lateral circumflex femoral artery arises from the lateral side of the profundafemoris artery, passes horizontally between the divisions of the femoral nerve and behind the Sartorius and rectus femoris, and divides into ascending, transverse and descen variation in the origin of lateral circumflex femoral artery was observed ...

Lateral femoral circumflex artery contribution to the articular and periarticular hip circulation: relevance to the anterior hip approach-a cadaveric study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND The purpose of this cadaveric study was to anatomically demonstrate the contribution of the lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA) to the articular and peri-articular hip circulation with an emphasis on the vascularization of hip ...

Surgical anatomy of the initial segment of the lateral circumflex femoral artery
Introduction. The lateral circumflex femoral artery usually originates from the lateral side of the initial part of the deep femoral artery, or less frequently from the femoral artery. If it is a branch of the femoral artery, it arises directly above the point of origin of the deep femoral artery.

The bilateral nature and origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery
The lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) gives rise to the ascending, transverse, and descending branches before anastamosing with the medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA). Aside from its great importance in this proximal femoral anastomotic network, the descending branch of the LCFA is often used in a ...
