In preparing to isolate the proximal poion of the Femoral Aery, the vascular surgeon gently separated it from surrounding tissues. Posterior to the Femoral Sheath, what muscle forms the Lateral poion of the floor of the Femoral Triangle?
The Iliopsoas forms the lateral poion of the trough like floor of the Femoral Triangle. The Pectineus forms the medial poion of this floor. The Adductor Longus provides a medial border for the femoral triangle and meets the saorius, the Lateral Border of the Triangle, at the Apex. The Rectus Femoris is a superficial contributor to the quadriceps femoris, lateral to the Femoral Triangle.
