Articular branches of descending genicular artery

The articular branches of descending genicular artery descend in the substance of the Vastus medialis, and in front of the tendon of the Adductor magnus, to the medial side of the knee, where they anastomose with the medial superior genicular artery and anterior recurrent tibial artery.

A branch from this vessel crosses above the patellar surface of the femur, forming an anastomotic arch with the lateral superior genicular artery, and supplying branches to the knee-joint.
