"There is chronic external compression of the superficial femoral artery as it courses through the adductor canal 1. This results in injury to the vessel, in situ thrombosis, limb ischaemia, and potential limb loss 3,4. The sources of external compression may arise from either an anomalous musculotendinous band arising from the adductor magnus or hypertrophy of the adductor magnus or vastus medialis muscles 2,3,5."
"Adductor canal syndrome (also known as adductor canal compression syndrome) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic cause of arterial occlusion and limb ischaemia 1. There is compression of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in the adductor canal."
