32. Clinical relevance Femoral Pulse Just inferior to where the  femoral artery  crosses the inguinal ligament, it can be palpated to measure the femoral pulse. The femoral artery crosses exactly midway between the pubic symphysis and anterior superior iliac spine (known as the mid-inguinal point).

33. Access to the Femoral Artery The femoral artery is located  superficially  within the femoral triangle, and is thus easy to access. This makes it suitable for a range of clinical procedures. One such procedure is  coronary angiography.  

34. Femoral hernia Femoral Hernia A hernia is defined as “ a condition in which part of an organ is displaced and protrudes through the wall of the cavity containing it “. In the case of  femoral hernia , part of the tissue pushes into the  femoral canal , underneath the inguinal ligament. This manifests clinically as a lump or bulge in the area of the femoral triangle. It usually requires surgical intervention to treat.
