Name the structures forming roof of femoral triangle.
Roof of femoral triangle.
The superficial fascia contains the superficial inguinal lymph nodes femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve branches of the ilioinguinal nerve.
The inguinal ligament acts as a flexor retinaculum supporting the contents of the femoral triangle during flexion at the hip.
The roof is formed by the skin superficial fascia and deep fascia fascia lata.
From lateral to medial the contents of the femoral triangle include the femoral nerve femoral artery femoral vein and lymphatics.
Posteriorly the base of the femoral triangle is formed by the pectineus iliopsoas and adductor longus muscles.
While the muscular floor of the femoral triangle is formed from lateral to medial by iliopsoas iliacus muscle and psoas major muscle and pectineus muscle.
Floor and roof anteriorly the roof of the femoral triangle is formed by the fascia lata.
The roof of the femoral triangle is formed by the fascia lata and cribriform fascia subcutaneous tissue and skin.
Assessment of pain and swelling in this area can be done by palpation or ultrasound.
The roof of the femoral triangle consists of skin superficial and deep fascia fascia lata cribiform fascia of the the thigh and subcutaneous tissue.
Skin superficial fascia with superficial blood vessels and superficial inguinal lymph nodes.
Deep fascia fascia lata.
The roof of a femoral triangle is created by the fascia lata having saphenous opening.
The apex of the triangle is continuous with the adductor canal.
Anteriorly the roof of the femoral triangle is formed by the fascia lata.
Posteriorly the base of the femoral triangle is formed by the pectineus iliopsoas and adductor longus muscles.
It is mostly caused by the following.
