Dr. Mohd Hassan Ali | |
Background: The primary source of blood supply to the dorsum of the foot is the dorsalis pedis artery. An easily accessible artery for determining pedal pulsations is the dorsalis pedis artery. The present study was conducted to assess variation of branching pattern of dorsalis pedis artery. Materials & Methods: The present cadaveric study was conducted on 80 lower limbs of both genders. Dorsalis pedis artery was identified and traced down, the origin, branching pattern and the course were noted. Results: Out of 80 limbs, 45 were of males and 35 were of females. Type A was seen in 52, B in 8, C in 5, D in 4, E in 3, F in 2, G in 2, H in 1, I in 1 and J in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that there are different branching patterns in the dorsalis pedis artery. Type A was the most prevalent type found. |
