  A Cadaveric Exploration for Variations in the Popliteal Fossa Venous Anatomy
  Author(s): Savannah Newell* and Marti K. Gay
  
  Context: The venous system within the popliteal fossa is the main route for draining deoxygenated blood from the leg into the femoral vein. Understanding this system and its variations holds clinical relevance, particularly as it relates to imaging, diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. Objective: The present study aims to review and describe diverse types of variations within the popliteal fossa venous system, calculate their frequency, and correlate their clinical relevance. Materials and methods: Bilateral popliteal venous systems were dissected and analyzed in 30 adult embalmed anatomy lab cadavers. Due to ill-preserved venous structures during dissection, three limbs were excluded from this study, totaling the number of lower limbs studied to 57. Results: Approximately 20% of lower limb..
