| femoral nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve originating in the lumbar spinal cord (usually l2 to l4) and traveling through the lumbar plexus to provide motor innervation to extensors of the thigh and sensory innervation to parts of the thigh, lower leg, and foot, and to the hip and knee joints. (12 Dec 1998) |
| femoral opening | The aperture in the aponeurotic insertion of the adductor magnus that transmits the femoral artery and vein from the adductor canal to the popliteal space. Synonym: hiatus tendineus, hiatus adductorius, femoral opening, tendinous opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral plexus | An autonomic plexus surrounding the femoral artery, derived from the iliac plexus. Synonym: plexus femoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral reflex | Scratching the skin of the upper part of the front of the thigh causes extension of the knee and flexion of the foot. (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) |

| medial circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, muscles of thigh; anastomoses, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris medialis, medial circumflex artery of thigh, medial femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial circumflex femoral veins | The venae comitantes that parallel the medial circumflex femoral artery. Synonym: venae circumflexae femoris mediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, profunda femoris; distribution, hip joint, muscles of thigh; anastomoses, inferior gluteal, superior gluteal, lateral circumflex femoral. Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris medialis, medial circumflex artery of thigh, medial femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial femoral tuberosity | The epicondylus located proximal to the medial condyle. Synonym: epicondylus medialis ossis femoris, medial femoral tuberosity. (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) |
| circumflex femoral arteries | See: lateral circumflex femoral artery, medial circumflex femoral artery. (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) |
| deep branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery | <anatomy, artery> Distributed to posterior aspect of femoral head and neck. Synonym: ramus profundus arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep femoral vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein that accompanies the deep femoral artery, receiving perforating veins from the lateral and posterior aspects of the thigh. It joins the femoral vein in the femoral triangle, usually in common with the medial and lateral circumflex femoral veins. Synonym: vena profunda femoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
