Document Summary

Venous drainage femoral vein and long saphenous vein. Femoral artery and vein lie medial to the femur. Long saphenous vein is medial + superficial. Anterior muscles supplied by the anterior tibial artery. Posterior muscles supplied by the posterior tibial artery. Peroneal artery supplies the lateral muscle groups. The peroneal, anterior tibial an posterior tibial veins drain the lower leg, along with the long and short saphenous veins. Main vasculature lie posterior to the tibia and medial to the fibula. Nearly all of the lower limb is supplied by the femoral artery. Lower limb nerve supply is by the sciatic nerve. Deep venous drainage matches the arterial supply. External iliac artery crosses the sub-inguinal space and becomes femoral. Femoral artery gives off a branch called profunda femoris. Profunda femoris gives off medial and lateral circumflex arteries (have anastomoses @ trochanteric fossa) @ the adductor hiatus (gap in the adductor magnus) femoral artery takes a posterior course and becomes the popliteal artery.
