Abstract：
The vascularization pattern of the equine stifle joint is insufficiently described in the literature, even though there is a growing need for knowledge of the exact blood supply, as (i) arthroscopy and endoscopic surgery techniques are increasingly performed in horses and (ii) ex vivo models of menisci need nutrient supply that mimic the in vivo situation. The aim of this study was to describe the vessels involved in the stifle joint supply and the exact branching pattern of the popliteal artery. Colored latex was injected into the arteries of nine pelvic limbs of equine cadavers (n = 6) to evaluate the occurrences, variations and approximate diameters of vessels that supplied the stifle joints. Next to a branch of the saphenous and descending genicular arteries, eleven branches of the popliteal artery could be described in horses that feed the vascular network of the stifle joint. With a focus on the blood supply of the menisci, a vascularization map was created to show the main influx to these intra-articular structures in detail. These findings are potentially of great importance to both clinicians in preparation of best-suited incisions for arthroscopy and researchers designing new approaches for meniscal studies and choosing suitable animal models.
摘要：
马窒息关节的血管化模式在文献中描述不足，尽管人们越来越需要了解确切的血液供应，由于（i）关节镜和内窥镜手术技术越来越多地在马匹中进行，以及（ii）半月板的离体模型需要模仿体内情况的营养供应。这项研究的目的是描述参与窒息关节供应的血管以及the动脉的确切分支模式。将彩色乳胶注射到马尸体的九个骨盆肢体的动脉中（n=6），以评估发生情况。提供窒息关节的血管的变化和近似直径。在隐动脉和渐降动脉的分支旁边，马中可以描述十一条pop动脉分支，这些马为窒息关节的血管网络提供食物。关注半月板的血液供应，血管化图被创建以详细显示这些关节内结构的主要流入。这些发现对于临床医生为关节镜检查准备最合适的切口以及研究人员设计半月板研究的新方法和选择合适的动物模型都可能非常重要。
