The Femoral Aery initially lies lateral to the vein, and moves to lie posteriorly as it descends. Saphenous Nerve is the terminal branch of the Femoral nerve and initially lies lateral to the aery, passing anteriorly as it descends ,so Femoral Aery lies between Femoral Vein and Saphenous Nerve. The Common Femoral Aery is the continuation of the External Iliac Aery and commences beneath the Inguinal Ligament at the mid-inguinal point. The branches of the Femoral Aery include the Superficial Epigastric, Superficial Circumflex iliac, superficial external pudendal, deep external pudendal aeries, muscular branches, the profunda femoris aery and the descending genicular aery . The Profunda Femoris Aery arises posterolaterally from the Femoral Aery about 3.5 cm distal to the Inguinal Ligament. It overlies the tendon of psoas. It is separated from Pectineus by the Femoral Vein.
