The Spleen(SP)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
Clinical Relevance: SP 10 often appears in treatment protocols for knee pain, including that from anterior cruciate ligament injury. Blood supply to the knee in general arrives from branches of the descending genicular artery, the medial and lateral superior genicular arteries, the medial and lateral inferior genicular arteries, the middle genicular artery, and the anterior and posterior tibial recurrent arteries.16

The popliteal fossa is a diamond-shaped region posterior to the knee roofed by skin and subcutaneous tissue, bounded by semitendinosus/semimembranosus and biceps femoris and the heads of the gastrocnemius inferiorly. The contents include a fat pad, the bursa, lymphatics, the popliteal vessels, tibial and common peroneal nerve, and the lesser saphenous vein and posterior femoral cutaneous nerve in the superficial fascia. Within the popliteal fossa, the geniculate branches branch and are named lateral and medial, superior middle, and inferior genicular arteries.

The common femoral artery is the continuation of the external iliac artery after it passes through the inguinal canal. The common femoral artery gives rise to the superficial circumflex iliac artery and the pudendal branches. The common femoral artery then bifurcates into the superficial femoral artery and the arteria profunda femoris (profunda). The femoral profunda artery comes off posterolaterally, and thus the femoral bifurcation is best seen angiographically with a 30° RAO or LAO view. The superficial femoral artery courses along the medial aspect of the thigh and continues on as the popliteal artery when it exits the adductor canal via the adductor hiatus. Prior to passing through the adductor canal, it gives rise to the superior genicular artery. It provides the superior, middle, and inferior genicular arteries which have anastomoses with genicular branches from the superficial femoral and femoral profunda arteries. The popliteal artery continues below the knee until it bifurcates into the anterior tibial (lateral takeoff) and tibioperoneal trunk, which subsequently bifurcates into the peroneal artery and the posterior tibial artery, which is the medial-most artery (Fig. 2.9). The anterior tibial artery passes between the tibia and fibula to run anterior to the interosseous membrane and eventually forms the arteria dorsalis pedis.
Response to: Anatomical Study of the Descending Genicular Artery Chimeric Flaps
Published in Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2022
Dissecting of the middle genicular, or inferior genicular arteries for the purpose of flap construction can therefore threaten the blood supply to the cruciate ligaments. Division of the infrapatellar fat pad (in which the inferior genicular arteries anastomose), was shown to halve the blood supply to the cruciate ligaments [6]. Although we did find the presence of numerous middle genicular arteries in some dissected limbs, which may render them a viable option for flap construction in some cases [6, 7].
