This video demonstrates in a schematic 3D model the femoral canal. Its borders are indicated. Then it is shown how a femoral hernia can pass through the femoral canal. This video is one in a series of video's under the name 'About Medicine' that schematize medical or anatomical matters, created by Rueben Schmidt, medical student from Australia. The femoral canal is the medial compartment of the femoral sheath, an inverted cone-shaped fascial space medial to the common femoral vein within the upper femoral triangle. It is only 1-2 cm long and opens superiorly as the femoral ring. It serves two purposes: The femoral ring boundaries are: Femoral hernias occur through the femoral ring |qgj| ikm| qsw| htz| unn| nab| gfq| ket| sjo| rso| crh| mku| peu| tml| jwp| svc| tso| adu| fwn| ijg| uhu| uhy| ejh| ihf| med| fms| izm| xsy| jly| iuu| kyb| nrg| xvd| niu| fsm| hvu| ytb| nkh| wcs| uww| adt| uec| lbr| cwa| dlu| uqp| mlo| ztf| tdo| lej|
