These anastomoses exist between the femoral artery or profunda femoris and the gluteal vessels.
2.
The upper four openings are small, and give passage to the perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery.
3.
In clinical parlance, the part of the femoral artery proximal to the origin of profunda femoris is often termed the common femoral artery, while that distal to the origin of the profunda is termed the superficial femoral artery.
4.
The adductor minimus and the adductor magnus are frequently separated by a branch of the superior perforating branch of the profunda femoris artery and the former muscle is considered independent from the latter because it is primarily a separate entity.
