Abstract
Vascularization of the foot was studied using 50 intraoperative arteri ograms on single legs and 50 cadaver injections. Arterial vascularizat ion was shown to depend on supramalleolar anastomoses, the primary pla ntar arch and secondary arches. Anastomotic routes are essential for t he permeability of femorotibial bypasses and cicatrization of distal t rophic lesions wizen only one tibial artery remains permeable and must be revascularized.
