Adductor Canal

The adductor canal (Hunter‘s canal, lat. canalis adductorius) is bounded:
 * in front and laterally by vastus medialis (part of quadriceps femoris)
 * behind by adductor longus and adductor magnus
 * covered in by a strong aponeurosis (lamina vastoadductoria) which extends from vastus medialis, across the femoral vessels to adductor longus and magnus

The canal contains:
 * the femoral artery and femoral vein
 * the saphenous nerve
