2 . Pubic tubercle
3 . Anterior branch of obturator nerve (upper pointer, branches to gracilis muscle; lower pointer, branches to adductor longus muscle)
4 . Adductor brevis muscle
5 . Adductor longus muscle (reflected medially)
6 . Gracilis muscle
7 . Deep femoral artery (muscular branch)
8 . Adductor magnus muscle
9 . Femoral artery
10 . Femoral nerve
11 . Iliacus muscle
12 . Medial femoral circumflex artery
