Transcript
Large Superficial Veins of the Lower Limb The great saphenous vein begins on the medial aspect of the foot, courses backward under the medial malleolus, up the medial aspect of the calf, behind the medial epicondyle, and then obliquely across the anterior thigh to the femoral vein as it enters the femoral canal beneath the inguinal ligament. The small saphenous vein begins on the lateral side of the foot, curves backward beneath the lateral malleolus, and then upward on the posterior surface of the calf to enter the popliteal fossa and join with the popliteal vein. The middle figure diagrams the communications between the superficial veins (heavy solid lines) and the deep veins (broken lines) and the communicating vessels (dotted lines).
