TOPOGRAPHIC ANATOMICAL FEATURES OF THE PERFORANT VEINS OF THE FOOT

Abstract

Most educational and methodological literature contains a description of only the superficial and deep veins of the foot, the topographic anatomy of the perforated veins (PV) of the foot is not described, at the same time it is the foot that is the most striking indicator of the manifestation of chronic venous insufficiency, in addition, the venous system of the foot is a frequent object for sclerotherapy and phlebectomy. Therefore, without a clear understanding of the anatomy of the PV of the foot, it is hardly possible to safely perform interventions on the foot.
