The femoral triangle contains some of the major neurovascular.
Femoral triangle floor.
The following structures are contained within the femoral triangle from lateral to medial.
Laterally we ve got the femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve.
Name the structures forming boundaries of femoral triangle.
Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh it crosses the lateral angle of the triangle runs on the lateral side of the thigh and ends by dividing into anterior and posterior branches.
Posteriorly the base of the femoral triangle is formed by the pectineus iliopsoas and adductor longus muscles.
We ve got the femoral nerve.
Some sources consider the lateral border of the adductor longus to be the medial border of the femoral triangle.
The rest of this muscle forms part of the floor of the triangle.
These muscles make up the floor of the femoral triangle.
Lateral boundary is formed by the medial border of sartorius.
We ve got arteries veins nerves and lymphatics.
We ve got a few things that pass through the femoral triangle.
Apex is present where sartorius overlaps adductor longus.
The femoral triangle is important as a number of vital structures pass through it right under the skin.
Medial boundary is formed by the medial border of adductor longus.
Medial to that we ve got the femoral artery.
However the majority state that it is the medial border of the adductor longus and this is definition we have gone with.
It is a triangular depression located below the inguinal ligament in the upper 1 3rd of front of thigh.
Anteriorly the roof of the femoral triangle is formed by the fascia lata.
The floor is gutter shaped since all the muscles forming the floor pass to the posterior aspect of the femur.
