The is a band running from the
Pubic Tubercle to the
Anterior Superior Iliac Spine . Its anatomy is very important for operating on
Hernia patients.
It forms the base of the
Inguinal Canal which is the place from where the inguinal hernia develops.
The inguinal ligament runs from the
Anterior Superior Iliac Spine of the
Illium to the
Pubic Tubercle of the
Pubic Bone . It is formed by the
External Abdominal Oblique Aponeurosis and is continuous with the
Fascia Lata of the thigh.
It is also referred to as Poupart's ligament, because Poupart gave it it's relevance to hernial repair (he called it "''le suspenseur de l'abdomen''", the suspender of the abdomen). It is less frequently termed the Fallopian ligament.
