Abstract

 

Introduction: In the lower limb, Dorsalispedis artery is the main artery for blood supply to the food and nowe have come to know that there exists many anatomical variations in the dorsalispedis. Still, there is limited anatomical evidence available regarding the branches of the dorsalispedis artery, which occur at the point at which they cross the ankle joint. Objectives: The objective of the study was to study
the anatomical variations in the dorsalispedis artery of foot Materials and Methods: We conducted our study in the department of anatomy in a tertiary medical college and dissected a total of 25 cadaveric feet to
explore the course of the dorsalispedis artery while paying attention to the branching pattern at the joint line. Results: After careful dissection, we found that Fourteen of the twenty five feet had a branch of the
dorsalispedis artery that crossed the level of the ankle joint. Out of these, nine were lateral, four medial and one bilateral. Eleven of the fourteen specimens had one branch at, or just before, the level of the joint. Two specimens had two branches and one had three branches crossing the ankle, which were all in the same direction. Conclusions: We came to the conclusion that there is a high rate of branching of the dorsalispedis artery at the level of the ankle joint.
Keywords: Dorsalispedis artery, Anatomical variations.
