Femoral nerve block
A femoral nerve block is a nerve block that uses local anesthetic to achieve analgesia in the leg.

Femoral nerve stretch test
Femoral nerve stretch test (Mackiewicz sign) - for the FNST the patient lies prone, the knee is passively flexed to the thigh and the hip is passively extended (reverse Lasegues); the test is positive if the patient experiences anterior thigh pain.

Femoral sheath
The femoral sheath (crural sheath) is formed by a prolongation downward, behind the inguinal ligament, of the abdominal fascia, the transverse fascia being continued down in front of the femoral vessels and the iliac fascia behind them.

Femoral triangle
The femoral triangle (or Scarpa's triangle) is an anatomical region of the upper third of the thigh.

Hilton's law
Hilton's law, espoused by John Hilton in a series of medical lectures given in 1860–1862, is the observation that in the study of anatomy, the nerve supplying the muscles extending directly across and acting at a given joint not only supplies the muscle, but also innervate the joint and the skin overlying the muscle.

Iliacus muscle
The iliacus is a flat, triangular muscle which fills the iliac fossa.

Inguinal ligament
The inguinal ligament (Poupart's ligament or groin ligament) is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine.

Lateral circumflex femoral artery
The lateral circumflex femoral artery (lateral femoral circumflex artery, external circumflex artery) is an artery in the upper thigh.

Local anesthetic nerve block
Local anesthetic nerve block (local anesthetic regional nerve blockade, or often simply nerve block) is a short-term nerve block involving the injection of local anesthetic as close to the nerve as possible for pain relief.

Lumbar nerves
The lumbar nerves are the five pairs of spinal nerves emerging from the lumbar vertebrae.

Lumbar plexus
The lumbar plexus is a web of nerves (a nervous plexus) in the lumbar region of the body which forms part of the larger lumbosacral plexus.

Psoas major muscle
The psoas major (from Greek: ψόας - psóās: 'of the loins', genitive singular form of ψόα - psóa 'the loins') is a long fusiform muscle located on the side of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and brim of the lesser pelvis.
