Femoral triangle
The femoral triangle is located in the upper thigh. It is bounded superiorly by the inguinal ligament, laterally by the sartorius muscle, and medially by the adductor longus muscle. The floor of the femoral triangle consists of three muscles - the iliacus, psoas major, and pectineus/adductor longus - forming a gutter shape. It contains the femoral nerve, femoral artery, and femoral vein from lateral to medial.
