| The nutrient foramina of the femur and fibula are located in the middle third of the diaphysis of these bones, on the other hand in the tibia it's in the proximal third of its diaphysis. With the objective of complementing the information delivered by other authors, we investigated the location, the number of diaphysis foramines, the distance or position of the foramines in relation to the length of the bone and the proximal epiphysis and the diameter of the bone at the height of the foramen. For that purpose, we used 140 dry bones (50 femora, 50 tibiae and 40 fibulae) of adult subjects of both sexes from the Anatomy Museum Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile. The nutrient foramen of the femur was located in the linea áspera in... |

| The popliteal artery is located deep inside the popliteal fossa, and is an important landmark in surgical procedures. Lesions of this vessel and its branches can be dangerous, blocking circulation to the lower limb and leading to gangrene or even vascular failure. The aim of this work was to describe the biometric characteristics of the bifurcations of the popliteal artery and the tibiofibular trunk in relation to the head of the fibula in 38 lower limbs through dissection. The bifurcation of the both arteries was present in all the cases. The mean confidence interval for the bifurcation of the popliteal artery was from 2.82 cm to 3.18 cm from the head of the fibula, and that of the bifurcation of the tibiofibular trunk was from 5.72 cm to 6.68 cm.
