Towards the Variant Topography of Gluteal Vessels
The paper deals with the study of 46 floating corpses of both sexes (23/23) died at the age of 24 to 67 years. It was found that deep branch with the diameter of 3.1 ± 0.3 mm departs from the inferior gluteal artery. This branch anastomosed by it subperiosteal branches, reaching the periosteum of the ilium, with the same subperiosteal branches of upper deep branch of superior gluteal artery. Also upper deep branch of superior gluteal artery anastomosed by it branches directly with deep branch of inferior gluteal artery. In addition, from the deep branch of the inferior gluteal artery, 2–3 subperiosteal branches departed to the periosteum of the ischial bone.
