Subcutaneous Femoral Canal Ring

Subcutaneous femoral ring: what is it and how does it work?

The subcutaneous ring of the femoral canal (hiatus saphenus) is an opening in the femoral canal, which is formed as a result of the passage of the great saphenous nerve and the great saphenous vein. The ring is located on the front of the thigh, approximately at knee level, and can be felt with some manipulation.

The ring has several names: fossa ovalis, femoral patella (BNA) and gluteal-patellar foramen (JNA). The ring has an oval shape and is surrounded by thigh muscles, which provides it with additional protection.

The subcutaneous ring of the femoral canal plays an important role in the blood circulation of the lower extremities. The great saphenous vein passes through it and carries blood from the lower body to the heart. In addition, lymphatic vessels and nerves pass through the ring, making it an important element of the lymphatic and nervous systems.

Despite its importance, the femoral ring can cause health problems. For example, a hernia may form here, which occurs when internal organs exit through weak areas of muscles and tissues. It is also possible to develop thrombosis in the great saphenous vein, which can lead to serious complications.

In conclusion, the subcutaneous ring of the femoral canal is an important element of the anatomy of the lower extremities, playing an important role in the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems. Despite this, it can cause health problems, so if any symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction:

The subcutaneous femoral ring (SCRF) is one of the most common anomalies of the position of blood vessels and nerves in the groin area. Despite the small size and number of patients in whom this anomaly is observed, problems associated with PCBC can cause many complications, such as vascular protrusion, varicose veins,
