2 LSV system. The LSV terminated within 5 cm above the popliteal skin crease in 61% of limbs. It continued higher up in the thigh joining GSV and superficial femoral, deep femoral, muscular, vulvar, and gluteal veins with or without an SPJ present in 32%. Connection with popliteal vein was present overall in 76%. In 7% of limbs it joined gastrocnemial veins and united with popliteal vein at usual level. There were at least three types of connection with gastrocnemial vein. Most common connection between GSV and LSV at calf was through a posteromedial tributary coursing from medial knee or upper medial calf (GSV site) to posterior middle calf (LSV site). Duplication of LSV was rare (2.2%).
