fémorales

Fémorales is a term used in Spanish-language medical and anatomical vocabulary to describe structures relating to the femur or the thigh region. It is the plural form of the adjective fémoral and appears in phrases such as arterias femorales, venas femorales, nervios femorales, and músculos femorales.

Originating from the Latin femur, femoris, the English equivalent is femoral. In Spanish orthography, the standard plural is femorales; some references may display fémorales to indicate stress in didactic materials or certain dictionaries.

In anatomy, femorales describe structures located in the thigh or femoral region. The femoral triangle contains the femoral artery and vein; the femoral nerve is a major nerve of the lumbar plexus. The thigh muscles, including the quadriceps femoris and various adductors and hamstrings, are often referred to in relation to their femorales when describing their location and function.

Clinically, conditions involving femorales include injuries to the femoral artery or nerve, as well as other thigh structures. Diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging is used to assess femorales-related pathology. Treatments may involve vascular or nerve procedures, orthopedic interventions, or rehabilitation focused on the thigh region.
