  23. Rectus femoris • O: A.I.I.S., margin acetabulum • I: patellar ligament • A: Knee extension, flexes thigh

  24. Vastus lateralis -O – greater trochanter and lateral lip of linea aspera of femur • Vastus medialis -O – intertrochanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera of femur • Vastus intermedius -O – anterior and lateral surfaces of body of femur *Same for all 3 -I – base of patella A – helps flex thigh

  25. Femoral triangle This triangle is bounded by: superiorly; the inguinal ligament (base) laterally; the medial border of sartorius Medially; the medial border of adductor longus Inferiorly; the apex of the triangle is continuous with adductor canal. The anterior wall is fascia lata The posterior wallconsists of adductor longus, pectineus and iliopsoas , from medial to lateral side.

  26. Contents of the femoral triangle 1. The femoral artery and its branches,the profunda femoris artery,The lateral and medial circumflex arteries,The deep external pudendal. 2. The femoral vein and its tributaries. 3. Three or four deep inguinal lymph nodes lie along the medial side of the femoral vein. 4. The femoral nerve. 5. The femoral canal.

  27. Adductor canal Extends from apex of femoral triangle to adductor hiatus Bounded by : laterally;vastus medialis posteriorly; adductors longus and magmus, anteriorly ;adductor lamina and sartorius Contents – saphenous nerve, femoral a., femoral v., lymphatic vessels, and loose connective tissue

  28. The adductor hiatus is a gap in the distal attachment of adductor magnus to the femur, which permits the femoral vessels to pass from the adductor canal downward into the popliteal space.

  29. Femoral sheath The femoral sheath is a funnel- shaped sheath , derived from transversalis fascia anteriorly and iliac fascia posteriorly. It surroumds the femoral vessels and lymphatic about 2.5cm belower the inguinal ligamemt. Its lower end disappears at the lower margin of the saphenous opening where the sheath fuses with the adventitia of the vessels.

  30. The femoral sheath is divided into three compartments by two fibrous septa. The femoral artery occupies the lateral compartment of the sheath. The femoral vein lies the middle compartment. The medial compartment is small, called the femoral canal.

  31. The femoral canal It is about 1.3cm long , and its upper opening is called the femoral ring . The boundaries of the femoral ring are:, anteriorly; the inguinal ligamentthe medially; lacunar ligament; , posteriorly; the pecten of pubis laterally; the femoral vein, superiorly; covered by femoral septum. The canal contains a little loose fatty tissue, a small lymph node, and some lymph vessels.

  32. Femoral hernia A femoral hernia is common in women than in men (possibly due to a wider pelvis and femoral canal ). If a loop of intestine is forced into the femoral ring, it expands to form a swelling in the upper part of the thigh.

  33. Lacuna musculorum Bounded by: anteriorly; lateral portion of inguinal ligament, posterolaterally; ilium Medially; iliopectinal arch Contents: iliopsoas m, femoral n. and lateral femoral cutaneous n. Lateral femoral cutaneous n. Iliopsoas Femoral n. Iliopectinal arch

  34. Lacuna vasorum Bounded by: anteriorly,medial portion of inguinal ligament posteromedially, pectineal ligament medially,lacunar ligament , Posterolaterally, iliopectinal arch Contents: femoral sheath, femoral a. and v., genital branch of genitofemoral n. and lymphatic vessels, femoral ring Femoral a. Femoral v. Femoral ring

  35. Femoral a. This is the main artery of the lower limb and is directly continuous with the external iliac artery of the abdomen behind the inguinal ligament at the mid- inguinal point. It becomes the popliteal artery by passing through the adductor tendinous opening. Arteries of lower limb

  36. Femoral a. Principal branch: 1. Deep femeral a.: arises from the posterolateral surface of the femoral artery about 4 cm below the inguinal ligament. 2. Descending genicular a. 3. Deep external pudendal a. 4. Superficial branches: superficial epigastric a. superficial iliac circumflex a. external pudendal a.

  37. Profunda femoris Lateral circumflex artery It arises from the profunda near its origin and runs laterally among the branches of the femoral nerve and then deep to rectus femoris. Here it divides into ascending, transverse, and descending branches. Medial circumflex artery arises either from the profunda near its origin or occasionally direct from the femoral artery. Four perforating arteries

  38. Medial circumflex a. Profunda femoral a. Latral circumflex a. Saphenous n.

  39. Femoral nerve It arises from the lumbar plexus in the abdomen, and enters the thigh posterior to the inguinal ligament and lateral to the femoral artery. It ends by dividing into a number of branches 2cm below the inguinal ligament. Muscular branche to: pectineus, sartorius, quadriceps femoris

  40. Cutaneous nerve branches: (1) Anterior cutaneous nerves of the thigh (medial and lateral). (2)Saphenous nerveis the longest branch of the femoral nerve. It accompanies the femoral vessels in the adductor canal, then accompanies the great saphenous vein to the medial side of the leg and food.

  41. Femoral vein This is the direct continuation of the popliteal vein. It begins at the adductor tendinous opening and accompanies the femoral artery to the inguinal ligament behind which it becomes the external iliac vein. The femoral vein contains several valves.
