On recapture 4 months later, the skin and nail conditions had spontaneously cured, though slight lymphadenopathy (prescapular and popliteal) was still detected.
For example, a popliteal block can routinely provide up to 24 hours of pain relief, thus reducing the opioid requirement.
Stimulation was applied to the common peroneal nerve at the neck of the fibula and in the popliteal fossa.
A careful search of other arteries often reveals the presence of inflammation and bruits even as far away as the popliteal artery behind the knee.
Immediately below the popliteal line is the nutrient foramen, which is large and directed obliquely downward.
The existence of a large popliteal cyst can be a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis.
Arterial aneurysm of the popliteal artery has been found to create a thrombosis or embolism resulting in ischaemia.
The others lie at the sides of the popliteal vessels, and receive, as efferents, the trunks that accompany the anterior and posterior tibial vessels.
