Femoral hernias occur in the femoral canal under the inguinal ligament into the thigh. I am now confused as to the relation of the femoral canal and the muscular and vascular lacuna. The whole thing goes through the vascular lacunae. The muscular lacunae is the section just lateral to the vascular lacunae which contains the iliopsoas and the femoral nerve.
