Update on the Diagnosis and Management of Popliteal Aneurysm and Literature Review Abstract and Introduction. Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are the most frequent peripheral aneurysm with a significant morbidity if left untreated. Open surgical technique is still considered the gold standard; however the revolution in endovascular repair has proven to be a valid alternative option in selected patients.

Nerves, Blood Vessels, and Lymphatics of the Knee and Leg The arteries and veins. The arteries that are found in the popliteal fossa provide blood to structures of the knee, and they also take blood down to the ankle and foot. Following are the arteries that run through the popliteal fossa: 1  Popliteal artery: This artery continues from the femoral artery at the adductor hiatus, which is a gap between the adductor magnus muscle of the thigh and the femur. It runs down into the popliteal fossa and divides into the tibial arteries.

Arterial embolism Arterial embolism. Peripheral embolism redirects here. See also Peripheral vascular disease. Arterial embolism is a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part due to an embolus adhering to the wall of an artery blocking the flow of blood, the major type of embolus being a blood clot (thromboembolism).

Tibial and Tibialis Anterior Arteries In cases of a high origin, the anterior tibial may lie deep to the popliteus muscle (hence compressed against the tibia) or between this muscle and the oblique popliteal ligament. With high origin it gives rise to branches normally originating from the popliteal and the peroneal arteries. An enlarged anterior tibial may supply both the dorsum of the foot and the plantar arch. The anterior tibial may become plexiform on the dorsum of the foot, giving rise to the dorsal intermetatarsals. The tibialis anterior artery may be continuous with the peroneal in those cases where the anterior tibial is weak; this represents an early embryonal stage of development. Image 47, Image 263, Image 463.

Milady's Textbook Chapter 6:Anatomy anterior tibial artery. One of the popliteal arteries (the other is the posterior tibial artery) that supplies the blood to the lower leg muscles and to the muscles and skin on the top of the foot and adjacent sides of the first and second toes. This artery continues to the foot where it becomes the dorsalis pedis arterys.

- When the lateral hamstrings are stronger than the medial hamstrings, the popliteus muscle will weaken. Overpronation or running in worn shoes will cause excessive lower leg rotation and overstress the popliteus. A common practice among runners is hanging out or walking around in old running shoes.

Ruptured Popliteal Cyst Diagnosed by Ultrasound Before Evaluation for Deep Vein Thrombosis However, cysts may rupture, resulting in pain and swelling of the leg that could also arise from other diseases, including deep vein thrombosis, lymphedema, cellulitis, and tear of a muscle or tendon. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose a ruptured popliteal cyst based on only a patient's history and physical examination.

Popliteal/Sciatic Nerve Block General Considerations. The popliteal block is a block of the sciatic nerve at the level of the popliteal fossa. This block is one of the most useful blocks in our practice. Common indications include corrective foot surgery, foot debridement, and Achilles tendon repair.
