Ligation Of Femoral Artery In Scarpa's Triangle & In Hunter's Canal

Illustration from 'Surgical Anatomy: The Treatise of the Human Anatomy and Its Applications to the Practice of Medicine and Surgery, volume III' (by Dr. John Blair Deaver) shows the superficial arteries of Scarpa's triangle, 1903. From the apex of the triangle the superificial femoral artery enters Hunter's canal, which is about in the middle of the thigh. Associated with the artery in Hunter's canal are the internal saphenous artery, the femoral vein, and the superficial part of the anastomotica magna artery. . (Photo by VintageMedStock/Getty Images)
