Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), also known as Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD), [1] is a rare, non-hereditary birth defect that affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone, and the proximal femur. The disorder may affect one side or both, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened.
The deep femoral artery is a large and important branch that arises from the lateral side of the femoral artery about 1.5 in. (4 cm) below the inguinal ligament. It passes medially behind the femoral vessels and enters the medial fascial compartment of the thigh .
Femoropopliteal bypass surgery is mainly used to treat cases of femoral artery blockage that cause more severe symptoms that restrict completion of daily tasks such as peripheral artery disease and claudication, or cases that have not responded well to other treatment options . Before surgery is considered, adjustments are made to lifestyle ...

However, only two structures enter and then leave through the hiatus; namely the femoral artery and femoral vein. Those vessels become the popliteal vessels (popliteal artery and popliteal vein) immediately after they leave the hiatus, [4] where they form a network of anastomoses called the genicular arteries. The genicular arteries supply the ...
The adductor canal (also known as the subsartorial canal or Hunter's canal) is an aponeurotic tunnel in the middle third of the thigh giving passage to parts of the femoral artery, vein, and nerve. It extends from the apex of the femoral triangle to the adductor hiatus .
Gray1146: Femoral vessels as they pass under the inguinal ligament. The femoral vessels are those blood vessels passing through the femoral ring into the femoral canal [1] thereby passing down the length of the thigh until behind the knee. These large vessel are the: Femoral artery (also known in this location as the common femoral artery) and ...
The middle genicular artery is a small branch of the popliteal artery that originates inferior or distal to both the superior genicular arteries as well as the sural arteries. Inferior or distal to the origins of the superior and middle genicular arteries are the two inferior genicular arteries: Medial inferior genicular artery
