LKnative - Femoral nerve and femoral triangle blocks

2 – The anatomy of the femoral nerve

In the inguinal region the femoral nerve (FN) runs lateral to the femoral vessels and on top of the iliopsoas muscle

The femoral nerve runs below the iliacus fascia

To reach the nerve with your needle you have to penetrate two fascia: fascia lata and the iliacus fascia
