It pierces the oblique popliteal ligament, and supplies the ligaments and synovial membrane in the interior of the articulation.

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE SURGERY OPERATIONS FOR RECURRENT POPLITEAL VARICOSE VEINS AFTER EXCISION OF THE SHORT SAPHENOUS ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Repeat surgery for recurrent popliteal varicose veins involves recurrences where the source of the venous reflux is located in the popliteal space, with a varicose vein pathway crossing the popliteal space. The significant difference between the time of onset of a recurrent popliteal varicose vein and an inguinal recurrence is in support of a localized cause in development of incompetence on collateral branches of the popliteal vein. These collateral veins resulting from anterior or posterior condensation of the primary axial plexus (posterior vein of the tibial nerve) can be confused with the popliteal vein in case of insufficient dissection. www.veinsurg.com /english/Titles/RUKtit/Rtextes/RUK9.htm   (4109 words)

In 20%, the lesions causing recurrent varicose veins were gastrocnemius vein terminations in the popliteal vein associated with an incompetent popliteal perforating vein. When recurrent varicose veins were studied and the comparison made between primary operation of ligation versus primary operation including stripping, the cause of recurrence was most often a refluxing of a large vein in the groin to a destination in the intact long saphenous vein or major tributary. www.venousdigest.com /Archives/1996_-1998/issue507   (3814 words)
