What is the name of the crease/fold/sulcus between the top of the leg and the groin?
Here's an image:

I just saw your edit @ShadowWizardisVaccinated and I'm curious. What does the edit you made do? I thought putting the image description in was enough for screen readers– Chris RogersDec 31, 2021 at 7:54

@ChrisRogers I made the image smaller, it's still clear enough and doesn't take so much space. Might be just nitpicking, I wouldn't do it in old posts, just new-ish when I spot such thing. (Also note it links to the original size image)– Shadow The GPT WizardDec 31, 2021 at 15:14

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 - I see. I was just curious as I saw how you edited it and didn't know what it did. I see it now. It's interesting 🙂– Chris RogersDec 31, 2021 at 15:28

@ChrisRogers yeah, lots of screenshots on Meta Stack Exchange where I usually roam (mostly bug reports), so learning some tricks. :)– Shadow The GPT WizardDec 31, 2021 at 16:48

That crease is simply called the crease of the groin. [See: fig.1 of Mallouris et al. (2012).]
Other names for this crease, as also indicated in the same paper include Holden's crease and fold of the groin
