• It can be defined as a compound structure of the arcuate line (from the ilium) and pectineal line (from the pubis).

• Lying across it are fibers of the pectineal ligament and the proximal origin of the pectineus muscle.

• In the remaining cases, it is either inserted into the upper part of the pectineal line or the posterior part of the lesser trochanter.

• In combination with the pectineal line, it comprises the iliopectineal line.

• Repair is either performed by suturing the inguinal ligament to the pectineal ligament using strong non-absorbable sutures or by placing a mesh plug in the femoral ring.

• Medial to the vessels the iliac fascia is attached to the pectineal line behind the inguinal aponeurotic falx, where it is again continuous with the transversalis fascia.
