| deep circumflex iliac artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, external iliac; distribution, muscles and skin of lower abdomen, sartorius and tensor fasciae latae; anastomoses, lumbar, inferior epigastric, superior gluteal, iliolumbar, and superficial circumflex iliac. Synonym: arteria circumflexa iliaca profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral circumflex artery of thigh | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, thigh muscles; anastomoses, medial circumflex femoral, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris lateralis, lateral circumflex artery of thigh, lateral femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of femoral torsion | angle of femoral torsion |
| anterior femoral cutaneous nerves | Anterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerve; supplies distal 3/4 of skin and superficial fascia of anterior and medial thigh. Synonym: rami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilocular femoral hernia | A femoral hernia with two sacs, the first being in the femoral canal, and the second passing through a defect in the superficial fascia and appearing immediately beneath the skin. Synonym: bilocular femoral hernia, Hey's hernia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perineal branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve which convey sensory fibres to the skin of the lateral-most perineum and adjacent portions of the upper medial thigh. Synonym: rami perineales nervi cutanei femoris posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pistol-shot femoral sound | A shotlike systolic sound heard over the femoral artery in high output states, especially aortic insufficiency; presumably due to sudden stretching of the elastic wall of the artery; pistol-shot sounds may also be heard over other relatively large arteries, e.g., brachial, radial. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior femoral cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the first three sacral nerves, supplies the skin of the posterior surface of the thigh and of the popliteal region (S1 and S2 component); it gives off a perineal branch (S3 component) that passes to the lateral aspect of the scrotum or labia majora. Synonym: nervus cutaneus femoris posterior, posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh, small sciatic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proximal femoral focal deficiency | A congenital defect in which variable portions of the upper end of the femur are reduced or absent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| slipped capital femoral epiphysis | <orthopaedics> This refers to chronic fracture of the epiphyseal growth plate known as a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. The capital (head of the femur) should sit squarely on the femoral neck. Abnormal movement along the growth plate results in the slip. Often this condition will present in prepubescent males with an insidious onset of thigh or knee pain with a painful limp. Hip motion will be limited, particularly internal rotation. Consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon is necessary to repair this problem. Untreated cases can result in serious growth abnormalities and permanent disability. (27 Sep 1997) |
| femoral | <anatomy> Pertaining to the femur or to the thigh. Origin: L. Femoralis (18 Nov 1997) |
| femoral arch | <anatomy> A fibrous band formed by the thickened inferior border of the aponeurosis of the external oblique that extends from the anterior superior spine of the ilium to the pubic tubercle bridging, muscular and vascular lacunae;forms the floor of the inguinal canal; gives origin to the lowermost fibres of internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. See: aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique muscle. Synonym: ligamentum inguinale, arcus inguinalis, crural arch, fallopian arch, fallopian ligament, femoral arch, Poupart's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> The main artery of the thigh, a continuation of the external iliac artery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| femoral branch of genitofemoral nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of genitofemoral nerve distributed to skin of uppermost part of anterior thigh. Synonym: ramus femoralis nervi genitofemoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral canal | The medial compartment of the femoral sheath. Synonym: canalis femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
