| Abstract | ||
| The study included dissection of the lower limbs of 10 cadavers to rule out the gross anatomy of the great saphenous vein together with any possible anatomical variations. The vein aroused anatomically as a continuation of the dorsal venous arch at proximal part of the metatarsal bones in 14 limbs (70%) and in the rest 6 limbs (30%); it started as a continuation of the first common metatarsal vein on the medial side of the big toe and received communications from the dorsal digital veins. The great saphenous vein was found to be duplicated in 4 limbs (20%), of these, 2 limbs (10%) below the knee and 2 limbs (10%) above the knee. Both the main vein and the accessory uein joined their own perforators. | ||
