Adductor canal
The adductor canal (Subsartorial/Hunter’s canal) is an aponeurotic tunnel in the middle third of the thigh, extending from the apex of the femoral triangle to the opening in the Adductor magnus, the Adductor hiatus. It is bounded, in front and laterally, by the Vastus medialis; behind by the Adductor longus and magnus; and is covered in by a strong aponeurosis which extends from the Vastus medialis, across the femoral vessels to the Adductor longus and magnus; lying on the aponeurosis is the Sartorius muscle. The canal contains the femoral artery and femoral vein, the saphenous nerve, and the nerve to the Vastus medialis.
