Hunter's Canal. Hunter's canal occupies approximately the middle third 

 of the thigh. It has an outer wall formed by the vastus internus muscle; a floor 

 formed above by the adductor longus, and below by the adductor magnus; and a

roof formed by a layer of fascia running from the adductor longus and magnus below 

 to the vastus internus on the outer side. The canal runs from the apex of Scarpa's 

 triangle to the opening in the adductor magnus muscle. The sartorius muscle lies 

 on the roof of the canal (Fig. 533).
