MS-0331

A 32-year-old arrives at the emergency department with a stab wound to the femoral artery. He has a history of intravenous drug use.

Due to poor vein quality, peripheral cannulation under ultrasound guidance is not feasible. Intraosseous access has been established, but additional access is required to administer large volume transfusions.

To obtain access to a vessel that runs anterior to the medial malleolus, the consultant has decided to perform a venous cutdown.

Which vessel will be accessed through this procedure?
