The femoral triangle is bordered by the sartorious, adductor longus and this ligament

Inguinal Ligament

100

This bone lies within the quadriceps tendon and is easily palpable

Patella

100

This anterior muscle is best palpated by dorsiflexing and inverting the foot

Tibialis Anterior

100

This muscle attaches to the bony prominence at the base of the fifth metatarsal and is a key palpable landmark

Peroneus Brevis to the Styloid Process

100

This joint complex lies between the tarsal and metatarsals

LisFranc Joint

200
From LATERAL to MEDIAL, the order of femoral triangle structures is remember by this acronym
NAVL

Nerve, Artery, Vein & Lymphatics

200

These bony landmarks of the femur and tibia are easier to palpate when the knee is FLEXED

Femoral Condyles & Tibial Plateaus

200

These two large posterior legs muscles form the calf

Medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius 

200

These three ligaments of the lateral ankle are responsible for most people's pain after an inversion ankle sprain. Name them

300

This tubercle is just below the lateral tibial plateau and is the insertion point for the IT band

300

This bony landmark is palpable just distal to the talus and supports it

Sustentaculum Tali

400

This bony prominence is considered the "sit bone" and is palpable at the inferior pelvis
