The lateral circumflex femoral artery (also known as the lateral femoral circumflex artery or the external circumflex artery[1]) is an artery in the upper thigh.[citation needed] It is usually a branch of the profunda femoris artery, and produces three branches. It is mostly distributed to the muscles of the lateral thigh, supplying arterial blood to muscles of the knee extensor group.
