Large anatomic dissection view of the approach to show the “gap” (1) in the innominate aponeurosis (2) where the deep fibers of the rectus are running straight down. The approach passes between the rectus femoris and the tensor fascia lata muscles (3). The approach is usually 2 to 4 cm long and the section of the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex artery is not necessary.
