Biometric Study of the Bifurcations of the Popliteal Artery and the Tibiofibular Trunk

The popliteal artery is located deep inside the popliteal fossa, and is an important landmark in surgical procedures. Lesions of this vessel and its branches can be dangerous, blocking circulation to the lower limb and leading to gangrene or even vascular failure. The aim of this work was to describ...
