It can be seen during -
1. Flexion of hip joint.
2. Abduction of hip joint
3. Internal rotation of hip joint
BOUNDARY OF FEMORAL TRIANGLE
1. Lateral -
Sartorius muscle
2. Medial -
Adductor longus muscle
3. Base -
Inguinal canal (present between anterior superior iliac spine and pubic tubercle).
4. Apex -
It is a point where the lateral and medial boundary meet.
ROOF OF FEMORAL TRIANGLE
1. Skin
2. Superficial fascia
3. Deep fascia
FLOOR
1. Medial - Adductor longus
2. Lateral - Iliopsus (Psoas major and iliacus)
CONTENTS
1. Femoral nerve and its branches such as pectineus nerve and genito femoral nerve.
2. Femoral artery.
3. Femoral vein.
4. Lymph node.
5. Great saphenous vein.
6. Flexor sheath
NOTE :- The contents of femoral traingle is divided into three compartments for artery, vein and lymph. The three compartments are called media, lateral and intermediate compartment. The compartments are tied together by a flexor sheath. Flexor sheath holds the artery, vein and lymph nodes as there is higher pressure of blood in them.
