Dorsalis pedis artery: variations and clinical significance.
After reduction, the
dorsalis pedis artery and the posterior tibial artery were palpable.
The lateral plantar artery passes obliquely across the sole of the foot forming the plantar arterial arch that is completed by a deep branch from the
dorsalis pedis artery (Standring; Moore et al, 2010; Kelikian & Sarrafian, 2011).
Similarly ankle blood pressure was taken first by palpatory method with cuff placed just above the ankle and then measuring colour Doppler blood flow in
dorsalis pedis artery or posterior tibial artery of both feet.
ABI was calculated by this formula: ABI = (maximum systolic pressure of
dorsalis pedis artery or tibialis posterior) / (maximum systolic pressure of brachial artery).
On Arterial Colour Doppler of both lower limbs, the left anterior tibial, posterior tibial and
dorsalis pedis artery showed sluggish colour flow and obstructive graph pattern.
Careful examination must be carried out to rule out compression or laceration of the
dorsalis pedis artery.22 Radiographically, severe malalignment between the fourth and fifth metatarsals and the cuboid can be seen in most cases.
Left femoral & popliteal arteries were weakly palpable and left
dorsalis pedis artery was not palpable at all.
