Abstract
Owing to the lateral rotation of the upper limb and medial rotation of the lower limb, the appendices stand separate from one another, causing flexion and extension to occur in opposite orientations (Kawashima and Sasaki 2010). In rare cases, the deep femoral artery does not develop, and the branches usually associated with it arise directly from the femoral artery instead (Recorded Books Inc 2016). Typically, the deep femoral artery arises from the posterolateral portion of the femoral artery (51%). Still, in other cases, it can arise as follows concerning the femoral artery: posteriorly (29%), laterally (11%), and posteromedially (10%). Medial and anteromedial origins of the deep femoral artery are uncommon, occurring in less than 4% and 2%, respectively. These averages take account of possible anatomical differences between the right and left legs (Tzouma et al. 2020).
