The femoral region is the area of the body that runs along the hip to the knee. Basically, it is the whole thigh area of your leg.
The patellar region is DISTAL to the femoral region.
What are the medial muscles of the femoral region?
The pulse site in the groin area is the femoral artery. You can palpate this just superior to the anterior iliac crest.

Femoral vein
No, the femur is closer to the head than tarsals
thigh
The right plantar region refers to the sole of the right foot, while the right femoral region pertains to the thigh area of the right leg. Both regions are part of the lower limb and are connected by the leg, specifically the tibia and fibula. They are involved in locomotion and weight-bearing activities, with the femoral region providing support and movement for the entire leg, while the plantar region provides stability and traction when standing or walking.
The nerves that arise from the lumbar plexus are femoral, obturator, lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, illoinguinal and illohypogastric nerve. As part of lumbosacral plexus, it is the nervous plexus that is found in the lumbar region.
The CPT code for thrombectomy of a femoral-femoral bypass graft is 35656. This code specifically describes the procedure involving the removal of a thrombus from a bypass graft in the femoral region. It's essential to ensure accurate coding based on the specific details of the procedure performed. Always refer to the latest CPT coding guidelines for any updates or changes.
A femoral seizure is not a recognized medical term or condition. It may be a misunderstanding or miscommunication of terms related to seizures or conditions affecting the femoral region, such as femoral nerve issues. Seizures generally involve abnormal electrical activity in the brain, while femoral issues pertain to the thigh or leg. If you meant a specific type of seizure or a related condition, please provide more context for clarification.
The femoral nerve lies outside the femoral triangle because it originates from the lumbar plexus and travels deep to the inguinal ligament before entering the thigh. This positioning allows it to provide motor and sensory innervation to the anterior compartment of the thigh, while the femoral triangle primarily contains the femoral artery, vein, and lymphatics. The anatomical separation helps protect the nerve from potential injury during surgical procedures or trauma in the region.
