A study of the arterial variations in the popliteal regions, are they symmetrical or not?
Objective: To assess the prevalence of the arterial variations in the popliteal regions and the symmetrical characteristic of the popliteal artery branching patterns in both knees of all subjects. Methodology: 77 subjects (154 knees) were prospectively studied using colour Doppler ultrasonography in...

Methodology: 77 subjects (154 knees) were prospectively studied using colour Doppler ultrasonography in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. No subject had anomalies of the lower limbs or history of previous lower limb surgery. Subjects with cardiovascular disease were excluded from this study. Results: Prevalence of the popliteal artery variations was 4.5%. The two variants (type I-B and type II-A) were seen in both knees.
