Veins, Circumflex Femoral, Peroneal (V. Circumflexae Femoris Fibulares, Jna)

The circumflex femoral and fibular veins are part of the venous drainage system of the lower extremities. They are located in the lower leg and thigh area and go around the femur. These veins collect blood from the muscles, tendons and skin of the lower limb and transfer it to the common iliac vein.

The veins that run around the femur include the anterior and posterior peroneal veins. Each of them has its own characteristics.

Anterior peroneal vein

The anterior peroneal vein (vena peronea anterior) is a branch of the femoral vein and collects blood from the front of the leg. It runs along the anterior surface of the leg, passes through the lateral malleolus and drains into the popliteal vein. This vein is of great importance for the circulation of the lower extremities, as it provides the outflow of blood from the front of the leg and foot.

Posterior peroneal vein

The posterior peroneal vein (vena peronea posterior) is also a branch of the femoral vein. It collects blood from the back of the leg and drains into the internal iliac vein through the popliteal vein. The posterior peroneal vein is less important for circulation than the anterior one, but it plays a role in draining blood away from the ankle joint.

The circumflex femoral vein is an important element of the venous system of the lower extremities and plays an important role in draining blood from the muscles, tendons and skin of the leg. Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the veins around the femur helps to improve the understanding of the circulatory process and can be useful for medical practice.

The circumflex veins of the femur, the fibular veins (lat. v. circumflexae femoris fibulae) are a small bundle of veins that is located on the inner surface of the thigh, next to the fibula. They form a loop around the femur and help drain blood away from the lower extremities.

The circumflex femoral and fibular veins are important for blood circulation in the lower extremities. They collect blood from the muscles and skin located on the inside of the thigh and drain it to the main veins that run through the thighs and legs. This allows you to maintain normal blood circulation in the lower extremities and prevents blood stagnation in the veins.

The peroneal veins have a thin wall and contain few valves, so they can be easily damaged by injury or surgery. To avoid complications, it is important to know the location and function of these veins and to use caution during surgeries and other procedures in this area.
