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