A routine examination of a newborn includes checking her femoral pulse, or feeling her heartbeat by pressing on the artery in her groin.

The posterior branch of femoral artery is called as Deep femoral artery or profunda femoral artery and is the biggest femoral artery branch located within femoral triangle. Emerging from the lateral side, it travels around 3 to 5 cm below inguinal canal from where it travels further to the thigh, femur and then runs in the midst of pectineus and adductor brevis and posterior travels at the back of adductor longus.
