( 6) reported that reflux of the VG was found in 10 of 212 limbs (5%), and this was graded as C2 in five limbs and as C3-6 in the remaining five limbs. The VG is sometimes involved in varicose vein disease, and Delis et al. On transverse scanning of the posterior thigh, the VG is detected in a groove between the semitendinosus muscle medially and the long head of the biceps muscle laterally ( 4, 5). The VG typically presents in three sections: the distal and proximal sections in the saphenous compartment ( 2, 3), and the middle section that is usually subcutaneous ( 4).
