Abstract: | Using 600 bilateral femoral angiographies (300 male lower extremities and 300 female lower extremities), we observed configurations
of the femoral origins of the medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA), lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) and the deep
femoral artery. The distinct intergender difference was found in the incidence of direct origin of the MCFA from the femoral
artery (17.8% and 80.0% in male and female limbs, repsectively). The LCFA also exhibited a marked difference between genders
in the incidence of direct origin. The Turkish population seemed to be characterized by an intergender difference in specific
somatic arterial morphology. |
