In the event that you could not use the radial, ulnar of brachial pulses due to injury or surgery...maybe if a patient had a double mastectomy (breast tissue removed on both sides). You would want to avoid causing the patient pain or discomfort that may occur if you use the arms, so you could use the popliteal.
