Femoral hernias are much less common. These emerge in the femoral canal below the inguinal ligament medial to the femoral vein. Obturator hernias are rarer still, and these emerge between pectineus and obturator externus muscles. The so-called sportsman's hernia (Gilmore's groin) is not a true inguinal hernia.
