Medial_circumflex_femoral_artery
The medial circumflex femoral artery (internal circumflex artery,[1] medial femoral circumflex artery) is an artery in the upper thigh[2] that arises from the profunda femoris artery.[1] It supplies arterial blood to several muscles in the region, as well as the femoral head and neck.
Damage to the artery following a femoral neck fracture may lead to avascular necrosis (ischemic) of the femoral neck/head.[2]
