Femoral Triangle - Boundaries and Contents | Anatomy Tutorial

#anatomy #femoral #thigh link for donation: The femoral triangle (or Scarpa’s triangle) is an anatomical region of the upper third of the thigh. The femoral triangle is bounded: • superiorly by the inguinal ligament. • medially by the medial border of the adductor longus muscle • laterally by the medial border of the sartorius muscle. The following structures are contained within the femoral triangle (from lateral to medial): Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh crosses the lateral angle of the triangle. Femoral nerve - The nerve enters the femoral triangle by passing beneath the inguinal ligament and after a short course of about 4 cm in the thigh, the nerve is divided into anterior and posterior divisions. The saphenous nerve is a brach from the posterior division of the femoral nerve. After its origin the saphenous nerve approaches the apex of the femoral triangle. Femoral arter
