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