pseudo-aneurysm of the femoral artery is the most common arterial complication in drug injecting abusers. scholars in vascular surgery have published debating statements regarding techniques of successful surgical management during last two decades. we present the results of simple arterial ligation in a series of 32 patients presenting with infected femoral pseudo-aneurysm. most of the patient...

conclusions the rate of mortality in the first postoperative year was high; however, functional outcomes were satisfactory. most of the patients could return to their previous activity levels. in the current study, we found no significant correlation between delay in surgery, and mortality at the first postoperative year and hhs. background femoral neck fractures (fnf) are a challenging orthope...

BACKGROUND Patients requiring dialysis due to acute or chronic renal failure frequently require temporary vascular access. Femoral vein catheterization is the easiest method for obtaining temporary vascular access in haemodialysis patients. The aim of this study was to utilize ultrasound imaging to describe femoral vein structures and to examine anatomical variations in uraemic patients. METH...

background: there are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. in the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. methods: forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal numb...

Preserving femoral head vascularity during hip resurfacing may avoid femoral neck fractures and late femoral loosening. The posterior approach and notching of the femoral neck influence femoral head perfusion. However, it is not known if standard preparation of the femoral head during hip resurfacing can disrupt blood flow. Ten patients (10 hips) with advanced osteoarthritis having metal-on-met...

introduction: the persian squirrel (sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family sciuridae in the middle east. since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. so far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. hence, this research was performed to fil...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate demographic and clinical factors affecting the common femoral artery diameter and length, and anatomical relationship between the femoral head and the common femoral artery during angiography. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 109 femoral angiograms. We collected the clinical data of the patients and estimated the common femoral artery dia...

The medial circumflex femoral artery usually arises from the deep femoral artery. It supplies the supplies adductors and hamstring group as well as sciatic nerve and femoral head and neck through anastomosis. In current study includes 342 dissected hemipelvis to clarify the origin of medial circumflex femoral artery. The medial circumflex femoral artery arose from the common and deep femoral ar...
