Summary
A rare anatomical variation shows the ulnar artery originating unusually superficially from the axillary artery. This superficial ulnar artery and the common interosseous artery
Area of Science:
- Anatomy
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- The superficial course of the ulnar artery is a known anatomical variation.
- Understanding such variations is crucial for surgical procedures in the upper limb.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of an abnormally superficial ulnar artery.
- To highlight the significance of this variation in reconstructive surgery.
Main Methods:
- Case report detailing an anatomical finding.
- Description of the vascular origins and course.
Main Results:
- The superficial ulnar artery originated from the axillary artery.
- The common interosseous artery originated from the radial artery.
Conclusions:
- This case underscores the importance of recognizing superficial ulnar artery variations.
- Awareness of this anomaly is vital for preventing surgical complications and planning reconstructive procedures.
