Hernia (1/3), where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia in both men and women. In some selected cases, they may require surgery. There are special cases in which the hernia may contain both direct and indirect hernia simultaneously pantaloon hernia, or, though very rare, may contain simultaneous indirect hernias. Pantaloon hernia (Saddle Bag hernia) is a combined direct and indirect hernia, when the hernial sac protrudes on either side of the inferior epigastric vessels. Femoral hernias occur just below the inguinal ligament,
Femoral-tibial angle "genu valgum" or "genu varum", the femoral-tibial angle is about 175 degrees. Femoral-tibial angle The femoral-tibial angle is the angle between the femur and tibia. In humans, the two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae. The angle of convergence of the femora is a major factor in determining the femoral-tibial angle. In human females the femora converge more than in males because the pelvic bone is wider in females. In the condition "genu valgum" (knock knee) the femurs converge so much that the knees touch one another. The opposite extreme
