Table 3 Genicular artery anatomy and common variants

Artery	Typical origin	Common variants
Superior lateral	Popliteal artery	Early branching, accessory vessels
Superior medial	Popliteal artery	Shared origin with DGA from SFA
Inferior lateral	Popliteal artery	Origin from anterior tibial artery
Inferior medial	Popliteal artery	Multiple branches, anastomoses
Descending genicular	SFA (adductor canal)	Shared origin with SMGA

SFA: Superficial femoral artery; DGA: Descending genicular artery; SMGA: Superior medial genicular artery.
