What are the cutaneous contributions of the femoral nerve?
Anterior cutaneous branches
Saphenous nerve
What can an anterior hip dislocation impinge?
Femoral nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
What is meralgia paresthetica?
compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve as it passes under inguinal ligament causing pain along lateral thigh
Where is the adductor canal? What is its roof? and where does it end?
betweeen vastus medialis and adductor magnus
antereomedial intermuscular septum
ends at adductor hiatus
What exits the adductor canal through medial side?
Saphenous nerve and descending genicular artery
What is the chief arterial supply to lower limb?
Femoral artery
What is the main arterial supply to femoral head and neck?
Medial circumflex femoral artery
Passes between iliopsoas and pectineus to reach posterior thigh
