In order to apply <em>Acharya Sushruta's</em> invaluable knowledge of <em>Urvi Marma</em> in the current era, it is necessary to precisely correlate his concept of <em>Urvi Marma</em> with present Anatomical perspectives. This research aims to bridge the gap between old wisdom and current science. Material and Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature on the concept of <em>Marma Sharir</em> (traumatology) and <em>Urvi Marma</em> was conducted, taking into account the position of <em>Urvi Marma </em>as told by our ancient experts. The anatomy of the thigh, as well as its application, has been researched through numerous books and dissection.</p> ER -
