Anatomy of the Femoral Triangle: a Multimodal Educational Approach Using Dissection, Computed Tomography, and Clinical Application

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Opportunities to integrate didactic anatomy knowledge with clinically relevant context are often limited. Our study presents a teaching approach to femoral triangle anatomy combining dissection, computed tomography, and a hands-on activity accessing the femoral artery on anatomical donors. The objective was threefold: to teach a clinically relevant skill, evaluate student perceptions of the teaching methods, and assess the effectiveness of this approach in teaching femoral triangle anatomy. All students successfully injected the femoral artery, reported positive perceptions of the demonstration, and showed increased anatomy knowledge. This multimodal framework demonstrates a feasible approach for integrating clinically relevant skills into anatomy education.
