The large bursa between the quadriceps muscle and the femur (sub-crural bursa) generally communicates with the cavity of the joint.
The synovial membrane extends beneath the quadriceps extensor as a cul-de-sac, which either communicates with the sub-crural bursa, or forms with it one continuous cavity.

The crural glands, which occur in many terrestrial Arthropods, are epidermal in origin and totally distinct from the coxal glands.
The name "coxal gland" needs to be carefully distinguished from "crural gland," with which it is apt to be confused.
The hernia being fully reduced and the parts relaxed by position, an incision about an inch long should be made over the fundus of the tumour, and its edges raised so as to admit the finger fairly into the crural opening.
The fascia-iliaca and some fibres of the psoas muscle separate it from the anterior crural nerve, which lies outside of the vessel, and at a somewhat deeper level, hidden amid the fibres of psoas and iliacus.
The anterior crural nerve, which on the level of Poupart's ligament lay outside of the artery and on a plane somewhat posterior, has divided into numerous branches before it reaches the point of ligature.
Near its origin it is sometimes crossed by the ureter, and near its termination the genito-crural nerve lies on it.
He applies sutures through the sides of the dilated inguinal or crural canals, or umbilical openings, in such a manner as to insure their complete closure.
If possible, the genito-crural nerve should not be included in the ligature, but probably such an accident would do no great harm.
It is not likely that a diagnosis could be made, except in very emaciated patients, in whom pain at the obturator foramen was a prominent symptom, and in whom it could be ascertained positively that the crural ring was empty.

The inguinal and cruralforms of hernia being the most common, will chiefly occupy our attention.
Pressure was kept upon the tumour, which protruded at the crural aperture, for some time, with the effect of diminishing its size very considerably.
With this view he is placed on his back, with the shoulders and pelvis elevated, and in crural hernia the thigh is bent on the trunk, and turned towards the opposite side; thus the aperture is relaxed along with the fasciæ which compose it.
Crural hernia has been mistaken for bubo, and vice versâ.
In crural hernia the pressure must first be made towards the centre of the thigh, so as to bring the whole tumour into the same direction with its neck, and then upwards.
The crural arch is formed by the junction of the fasciæ of the thigh and abdomen, superficial and deep.
Thus only the crescentic portion of the crural arch is cut; and the division of this produces sufficient relaxation of the neighbouring parts.
The distinctions between crural hernia and bubo are too obvious to require mention.
Inguinal hernia most frequently occurs in males, the femoral in females; and the reason of this is obvious on comparing the size of the inguinal and crural openings in the sexes.
Crural or femoral hernia is, on the contrary, seldom larger than a small apple.
A similar condition may implicate the fascia lata of the thigh, or the calf muscles and their aponeuroses--crural fibrositis.
Neurectomies have been performed and recoveries following were attributed thereto; fascial divisions in the crural region have been done with good results and this manner of treatment has its favorers.
In some nervous subjects that seem to be suffering from cramp of the crural muscles, the difficulty and pain of their being backed out of narrow stalls, accentuates the nervousness.
The knuckling which results from long continued inactivity of the crural muscles in chronic cases is marked in this instance.
Such cases may be styled momentary luxation, whether they are due to a weakened condition of the patellar ligaments or spasmodic contraction of the crural muscles.

On the other hand, we willingly allow that in many others it has been preceded by crural phlebitis, although we most distinctly deny that it is ever identical with that disease.
We had been led at that time to suppose that phlegmatia dolens and crural phlebitis were identical, and that, therefore, this was not a veritable case of the disease, because no traces of inflammation of the veins were to be found.
Lee for his indefatigable researches into the history and anatomy of crural phlebitis, for they have taught practitioners to be on the watch for the existence of the one disease whenever the presence of the other has been determined.
We consider that the causes of cruralphlebitis in the puerperal state are of precisely the same nature as those of uterine phlebitis, already mentioned, viz.

A surgeon and anatomist, who has been in repute, observes, That an hemorrhage of the cruralartery is what is chiefly to be dreaded, but the operation requires too short a time, for such an hemorrhage to be fatal.
It will here perhaps be objected, that all these means would be to no purpose, if the brachial or crural arteries are wounded at a certain height, because, in such a case, the limb must waste away for want of nourishment.

I first divided the sciatic nerves, in both legs of two frogs, and then tied the crural artery in one leg of each.
To prevent the contractions in the muscles of the leg from producing any fallacy, the crural artery should be laid bare, and insulated from surrounding parts, by passing a thin plate of glass, or sealing wax, between it and them.
Four days after I had divided the crural nerve of a female frog, full of spawn, I found her dead; she had been observed alive the night before.
Having tied the cruralartery on one side, and divided the sciatic nerve on the other, on three full grown male frogs, I strangled them all on the sixth day following.
