Femoral Triangle. This is an anatomical region of the upper third of the thigh. It is a subfascial space which appears as a triangle depression below the inguinal ligament when the thigh is flexed, abducted and laterally rotated. Bounded by: Superiorly (inguinal ligament); Medially (adductor longus); Laterally (sartorius).
MT's avoid this area because many nerves travel through this such as cutaneous nerve of the thigh, femoral nerve, the nerve to pectineus. It also includes the femoral arteries, veins, greater saphenous vein and part of lymph nodes.
