FEMORAL NERVE:
- Arises from the lumbar plexus, its formed by the ventralrami of L2,L3 and L4.
- Descends within the groove between the psoas majorand Iliacus muscles
- Lateral to the femoral artery as it enters the thigh

-The femoral nerve supplies the frontal area of thigh.
- Two branches:
(a) Anterior cutaneous nerve(b) Saphenous nerve
ANTERIOR CUTANEOUS NERVE:-Sensation of the skin of the anterior and median aspect of the thigh
- injury: loss of sensation.

SAPHENOUS NERVE:-Sensation of the skin of patella and median side of the leg and foot
- Injury: loss of sensation

Deep inguinal lymph nodes:-located medial to the femoral vein and under the
cribriform fascia. There are approximately 3 to 5 deepnodes. The superior-most node is located under the
inguinal ligament and is called Cloquet's node.
-The deep inguinal lymph nodes drain superiorly to the
external iliac lymph nodes, then to the pelvic lymph
nodes and on to the Para-aortic lymph nodes.

HOW WOULD YOU LOCATE THEFEMORAL VEIN?
The femoral vein is not usually palpable but its positioncan be located inferior to the inguinal ligament byfeeling the pulsations of the femoral artery which is
immediately lateral to the vein. In thin people, thefemoral vein may be close to the surface and may bemistaken for the great saphenous vein. It is important toknow that the femoral vein has no tributaries at thislevel except for the great saphenous vein that joins itapproximately 3cm inferior to the inguinal ligament
from femoral vein. We have branches of greatsaphenous vein, external pudendal vein and superficialepigastric vein.

CONSEQUENCE OF DAMAGED
FEMORAL NERVE:-FEMORAL NERVE:The femoral nerve is part of the lumbar plexus. It originates from the lumbar region and supplies to themuscles of the anterior thigh and skin region. It contains both sensory and motor nerve fibers. The motornerve fibers supply the muscles of extension which allows the leg to straighten at the knees while the sensorynerve fibers receives input from the front of the thigh and lower leg, allowing the brain to detect pain andpressure.
-WHAT IS FEMORAL NERVE DAMAGE?Femoral nerve dysfunction is the loss of movement and sensation in the leg. This damage is clinicallytermed as Mononeuropathy which also means local damage to a nerve. Many times the damage is to thecomplete body - systemic disorder.
-FEMORAL NERVE DAMAGE: CAUSES Direct injury or trauma to the leg can damage the nerve. Excessive or prolonged pressure on the nerve
can lead to its dysfunction.
Femoral nerve entrapment or compression of the nerve by surrounding parts of the body or by structureslike tumors, abscesses can cause femoral nerve damage. Entrapment of the nerve result in damage tothe myelin sheath.
If femoral nerve is suppressed due to pressure, it may not get sufficient oxygen. Insufficient blood supply(ischemia) to femoral nerve can result in several health complications. Systemic disorders which involvethe whole body, can affect the function of femoral nerve. In mononeuritis multiplex, dysfunction offemoral nerve due to systemic disorder can be noticed.
As the femoral nerve passes through muscles, femoral nerve entrapment due to pressure on the nerve isquite common.

>Breaking of bones in the pelvic area can cause damage to the femoralnerve. Internal bleeding (bleeding in the abdominal area), use of tight orheavy waist belts can compress the femoral nerve or its branches.
>Insertion of catheter in the groin or lying in a position with the thighs andlegs stretched apart (as is many times required for certain surgical ordiagnostic procedures) can cause damage to femoral nerve.
>Diseases like diabetes can lead to damaged femoral nerve due toperipheral neuropathy.
CONSEQUENCES:
Weakened knee or leg :muscle weakness within the leg can makeit difficult for a patient to stand or walk normally making it difficult towalk down a flight of stairs
Tingling or burning sensation in the knee, thigh or leg Complete numbness in the thigh, knee or leg Buckling of the knee

ANATOMICAL SIGNIFICANCEOF FEMORAL CANAL.
Definition : The femoral canal is the passageway through
which femoral structures exit from theabdomen into the upper thigh.
It is conical In shape and measures about 1.25cm. in length.
Boundaries Anteriorly: inguinal ligament
Medially: pubic bone and lacunar ligament Laterally: iliopsoas muscle Posteriorly: pubic ramus and pectineus
muscle

Compartments and contents
Femoral canal : divided into two compartments bythe medial border of the femoral vein.
The medial compartment is the femoral ring. contains some lymphatic vessels and a lymph
gland imbedded in a small amount of areolartissue The lateral compartment contains the following
structures from medial to lateral::-1. femoral vein2. femoral artery3. genitofemoral nerve
4. femoral nerveThe femoral artery and vein are enclosed by thefemoral sheath, an extension of the transversalisfascia.

Applied anatomy
The abdominal opening of the femoral canalis the femoral ring.
A femoral hernia occurs through the femoralcanal.
In 30% an aberrant or anomalous obturatorartery (a branch from the inferior epigastric
artery) crosses the lacunar ligament and maybe injured during operations of the femoralhernia

FEMORAL RING:
-The femoral ring is the base of the femoral canal. Itis directed upward and is oval in form, its longdiameter being directed transversely and measuringabout 1.25 cm.
BOUNDARIES:The femoral ring is bounded as follows: anteriorly by the inguinal ligament. posteriorly by the pectineus covered by the
pectineal fascia.
medially by the crescentic base of the lacunarligament. laterally by the fibrous septum on the medial side
of the femoral vein.
