  • Title: Identification and anatomic categorization of the vascular patterns to the pelvic limb muscles of dogs.
    Author: Chambers JN, Purinton PT, Allen SW, Moore JL.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1990 Feb; 51(2):305-13. PubMed ID: 2301845.
    Abstract:
    The vascular patterns to pelvic limb muscles were studied in 6 dogs (12 limbs) to identify muscles most suitable for transposition in the treatment of large wounds. Gross dissection of injected specimens and angiography were used to identify the vascular pedicles. The vascular pedicles to several muscles were generally consistent, and any variations would not interfere with most muscle transfers. The cranial part of the sartorius, gracillis, semitendinosus, and rectus femoris muscles were identified as suitable candidates for transfer. The caudal part of the sartorius, cranial tibial, and long digital extensor muscles have segmentalized vascular patterns that would limit its arc of rotation.
