Surgical Implications of the Arterial Anatomy around the Knee: A Cadaveric Pictorial Essay

We completed an anatomic cadaver study in order to examine the arterial supply around the knee and to create useful images regarding the arterial surgical anatomy around the knee. A total of four unmatched fresh-frozen cadaveric knees were utilized. There was no medical history of osteoporosis, bony...
