The femoral traingle is formed by the inguinal ligament (superiorly), the sartorius muscle (laterally), and adductor longus[?] (medially).
The femoral nerve[?], the femoral artery and the femoral vein[?] (from lateral to medial), are three important structures running through this area.
A mnemonic to remember the order is: NAVY - nerve, artery, vein, Y-fronts[?]. (Y-fronts are a brand of underwear, that is added to elucidate the direction of naming, lateral to medial.)
