1 Anatomy- Lower Limb – Areas Anatomy- Lower Limb – Areas Femoral triangle - a triangular fascial space in the superoanterior third of the thigh - boundaries: o superior: inguinal ligament o medial: adductor longus o lateral: sartorius - floor: o medial pectineus o lateral iliopsoas - roof: fascia lata, cribriform fascia, subcutaneous tissue, skin - contents (medial to lateral): o femoral vein/artery/nerve and their branches o femoral sheath and its contents o deep inguinal LNs - bisected by the femoral artery and vein which leave, and enter the adductor canal at its apex Femoral sheath - funnel-shaped fascial tube that encloses proximal parts of femoral vessels, which lie inferior to inguinal ligament - surrounds the femoral canal but does not enclose the femoral nerve - a diverticulum or inferior prolongation of fasciae lining abdomen (transversalis fascia ant and iliac fascia post) - covered by fascia lata - ends ~4cm inferiorly to inguinal ligament when it becomes continuous with loose c.t. covering femoral vessels - medial wall pierced by the great saphenous vein and lymphatics - purpose: allows femoral vessels to glide in and out, deep to the inguinal ligament, during hip joint movements - compartments: divided by 2 vertical septa into 3 compartments: o lateral: contains femoral artery o intermediate: femoral vein o medial aka the femoral canal 1 Femoral ring - 1cm wide small superior end or mouth of the femoral canal - closed by extraperitoneal fatty tissue - femoral septum, pierced by lymphatics connect inguinal/external iliac LNs - 4 boundaries: o lateral: partition between femoral canal and femoral vein o posterior: superior pubic ramus covered by pectineus muscle and its fascia o medial: lacunar ligament o anterior: medial part of inguinal ligament - a weak area – femoral hernias (protrusion abdominal viscera thru ring into canal) Adductor canal - aka subsartorial or Hunters canal - 15cm long, narrow fascial tunnel in the thigh - deep to middle 1/3 sartorius - provides intermuscular passage thru which femoral vessels pass to reach popliteal fossa - become popliteal vessels - begins 15cm inferior to inguinal ligament where sartorius crosses adductor longus (apex of femoral triangle - ends at adductor hiatus in tendon of adductor magnus - boundaries: o anteriolateral: vastus medialis o posterior: adductor longus and magnus o medial: sartorius - subsartorial plexus of nerves lies on this fascia – in middle 1/3 thigh – supplies overlying skin - contents: o femoral artery and vein o saphenous nerve o nerve to vastus medialis femoral vessels enter canal where sartorius crosses adductor longus, vein lies posterior to artery femoral vessels leave canal through tendinous opening in adductor magnus - adductor hiatus femoral artery enters popliteal fossa, becomes popliteal artery, same for vein profunda femoris A+V don’t enter adductor canal perforating branches of these vessels pierce fibres of adductors to reach post aspect of thigh saphenous nerve (cutaneous branch femoral nerve) accompanies femoral artery thru adductor canal. Enters canal lateral to artery, crosses anteriorly, lies medial at distal end Popliteal Fossa ‘diamond shaped anatomical space behind the knee’ Borders Superomedial - Semimembranosus and semitendinosus Superolateral - Biceps femoris Inferiomedial - Medial head of gastrocnemius Inferolateral - Lateral head of gastrocnemius Roof Fascia lata, strongly reinforced by transverse fibres Pierced by small saphenous vein and posterior femoral cutaneous nerve. Floor (from above down) Popliteal surface of the femur Capsule of the knee joint – reinforced by oblique popliteal ligament. Popliteus muscle – covered by fascia. Contents (medial to lateral) Popliteal artery and branches Branches Muscular branches to the muscles in the popliteal fossa (including 2 large sural arteries) Genicular arteries (5) Middle genicular artery Pierces oblique popliteal ligament to supply cruciates Medial superior genicular artery Deep to semitendinosus, semimembranosus, tendon of adductor magnus – encircles lower end of femur. 2 Lateral superior genicular artery Deep to tendon of biceps femoris – encircles the lower end of the femur.

Angiography demonstrated diffuse arterial and bypass occlusion in his left leg that did not include a sural artery, which was the main collateral. Therefore, the patient underwent reversed saphenous vein bypass from the common femoral artery to the medial sural artery. His leg pain disappeared, and the ulcer healed promptly.

  • The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions
    International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2014, 5, 752-765 Published Online July 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijcm http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijcm.2014.513102 The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions Ljubomir S. Kovachev Department of General Surgery, Medical University, Pleven, Bulgaria Email: [email protected] Received 28 April 2014; revised 27 May 2014; accepted 26 June 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Purpose: The anatomic region through which most inguinal hernias emerge is overcrowded by various anatomical structures with intricate relationships. This is reflected by the wide range of anatomic interpretations. Material and Methods: A prospective anatomic study of over 100 fresh cadavers and 47 patients operated on for femoral hernias. Results: It was found that the transver- salis fascia did not continue distally into the lymphatic lacuna. Medially this fascia did not reach the lacunar ligament, but was rather positioned above it forming laterally the vascular sheath. Here the fascia participates in the formation of a fossa, which varies in width and depth—the pre- peritoneal femoral fossa. The results did not confirm the presence of a femoral canal. The dis- tances were measured between the pubic tubercle and the medial margin of the femoral vein, and between the inguinal and the Cooper’s ligaments. The results clearly indicate that in women with femoral hernias these distances are much larger. Along the course of femoral hernia exploration we established the presence of three zones that are rigid and narrow.

  • Ultrasonographic Analysis of the Anatomical Relationship Between Femoral Vessels in the Upper Part of Thigh in Critically Ill Patients – a Cross Sectional Study
    November - December, 2018/ Vol 6/Issue 08 Print ISSN: 2321-127X, Online ISSN: 2320-8686 Original Research Article Ultrasonographic analysis of the anatomical relationship between femoral vessels in the upper part of thigh in critically ill patients – a cross sectional study Suresh Kumar V.K. 1, Vijayan D. 2, Kunhu S. 3, Varghese B. 4 1Dr. Suresh Kumar V.K., Senior Consultant, 2Dr. Deepak Vijayan, Senior Consultant, 3Dr. Shamim Kunhu, Associate Consultant; above all authors are affiliated with Department of Critical Care Medicine, Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences, Trivandrum, Kerala, 4Dr. Boban Varghese, Consultant ICU Physician, Valluvanadu Hospital, Ottappalam, Kerala, India Corresponding Author: Dr. Suresh Kumar, Senior Consultant, Department of Critical Care Medicine, Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences, Trivandrum, Kerala, India. E-mail: [email protected] ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...… Abstract Objective: Femoral vessels are one of the frequently used sites of cannulation in intensive care units. In resource limited settings cannulations are done blindly without ultrasonographic guidance based on a traditional belief that in the upper thigh vein keeps a medial relationship to artery. In this trial we tried to analyse the anatomical relationship of femoral vein to femoral artery using ultrasound in critically ill patients. Methods: This cross sectional study analysed the anatomical relationship of femoral vein to femoral artery at 2cm, 4 cm and 6 cm from the mid inguinal point in both thighs of the patients using ultrasonography. The study was done among patients admitted in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit. Results: Three hundred limbs of one hundred and fifty patients were analysed by ultrasonography. A total of 900 measurements were taken at three different levels of both legs.

The femoral triangle is located on the anterior aspect of the thigh, inferior to the inguinal ligament and knowledge of its contents has become increasingly more important with the rise in use of the Smith-Petersen Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) to the hip as well as ultrasound and fluo- roscopic guided hip injections. A detailed knowledge of the anatomical landmarks can guide surgeons in their anterior approach to the hip, avoiding iatrogenic injuries during various procedures. The novel mnemonic “NAVIgate” the femoral triangle from lateral to medial will aid in remembering the borders and contents of the triangle when performing surgical procedures, specifically the DAA.
