Distance of the femoral and popliteal artery to specific bony landmarks in thigh and knee was measured.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Eighty limbs including 40 varus and 40 valgus lower limbs were assessed. No significant difference between varus/valgus groups in terms of distances was noted.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Our study compared pathway of PA and FA artery in varus and valgus knees using CTA images; and no significant differences was seen between the two groups of varus and valus.</p> ER -
