The origin of the medial femoral circumflex artery, lateral femoral circumflex artery and obturator artery [PDF]
The most significant blood vessel supplying the hip joint is the medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA). MFCA with lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA) are the first branches of the deep femoral artery (DFA) or they originate directly from the common femoral artery (CFA) or superficial femoral artery (SFA).We analyzed 100 CT angiogram of the hip ...

Medial femoral circumflex artery pseudoaneurysm following intramedullary nailing for intertrochanteric fracture [PDF]
Case: We present the case of a 92-year-old woman who developed a medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA) pseudoaneurysm intraoperatively while obtaining reduction during intramedullary nailing (IMN) for intertrochanteric fracture.

Rare variations of origin and course of the medial circumflex femoral artery: Report of 3 cases
Introduction: The medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) arises from the deep femoral artery. It leaves the femoral triangle passing between the iliopsoas muscle and the pectineus muscle.

Medial circumflex femoral artery flap for ischial pressure sore [PDF]
A new axial pattern flap based on the terminal branches of the medial circumflex femoral artery is described for coverage of ischial pressure sore. Based on the terminal branches of the transverse branch of medial circumflex femoral artery, which exit ...

Pseudoaneurysm of the Medial Femoral Circumflex Artery following Surgical Fixation of Trochanteric Femur Fracture: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Pseudoaneurysm of the medial femoral circumflex artery is a rare but potentially serious vascular complication following surgical fixation of trochanteric femur fractures.

Anatomy of the medial femoral circumflex artery and its surgical implications [PDF]
The primary source for the blood supply of the head of the femur is the deep branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery (MFCA). In posterior approaches to the hip and pelvis the short external rotators are often divided. This can damage the deep branch and interfere with perfusion of the head.

The Development of the Medial Circumflex Femoral Artery Perforator (MCFAP) Flap [PDF]
In the quixotic quest for the “ideal” flap, the major attribute of the medial circumflex femoral artery perforator flap is its minimal donor-site deformity even if primary closure is not possible and a skin graft must be used. This source vessel captures the medial groin skin territory, and therefore sometimes has been referred to as the “medial groin”

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

The origin of the medial circumflex femoral artery: a meta-analysis and proposal of a new classification system [PDF]
Background and Objectives. The medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) is a common branch of the deep femoral artery (DFA) responsible for supplying the femoral head and the greater trochanteric fossa.

Dislocation of total hip arthroplasty prosthesis after transarterial embolization of a pseudoaneurysm: case report [PDF]
Background While pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), subsequent prosthesis dislocation after embolization is even more exceptional. We report such a case and discuss the potential underlying mechanisms.
