Clinical note: When superficial inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged (XXX) examination should include their entire field of drainage: abdomen, perineum, superficial gluteal region, thigh, anteromedial leg, and medial foot.
Clinical note: When superficial inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged (lymphadenopathy) examination should include their entire field of drainage: abdomen, perineum, superficial gluteal region, thigh, anteromedial leg, and medial foot.

Loop of small intestine enters femoral canal via ______
Mass is palpable at the ____ -inferior to ____, inferolateral to
______
Hernia is bounded by ______ v. and ______
More common in females (broader pelvis)
Another cause of swelling at saphenous opening: saphenous varix - dilation of the great saphenous v. in the femoral triangle (consider when varicose veins are present)
Loop of small intestine enters femoral canal via femoral ring
Mass is palpable at the saphenous opening -inferior to inguinal ligament, inferolateral to
pubic tubercle
Hernia is bounded by femoral v. and lacunar ligament
More common in females (broader pelvis)
Another cause of swelling at saphenous opening: saphenous varix - dilation of the great saphenous v. in the femoral triangle (consider when varicose veins are present)

Quad Femoris
PA
DA
ACT
INN
PA: Rectus femoris - AIIS

Clinical note: ________ – Overuse of quadriceps in children (e.g., young athletes) can disrupt the ________ causing pain, inflammation, fracture of the tibial tuberosity.
Clinical note: Osgood- Schlatter Disease – Overuse of quadriceps in children (e.g., young athletes) can disrupt the epiphyseal plate of the tibial tuberosity causing pain, inflammation, fracture of the tibial tuberosity.
