inguinal ligament

Long periods of standing or leg exercise that increases tension on the inguinal ligament may also cause pressure.

Its anterior margin is attached to the inguinal ligament.

Structures that pass deep to the inguinal ligament include:

It arises from the external iliac artery, immediately above the inguinal ligament.

The aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle forms the inguinal ligament.

T12 - Intersection of the midclavicular line and the midpoint of the inguinal ligament.

Lower limb - everything below the inguinal ligament, including the hip, the thigh, the knee, the leg, the ankle, and the foot.

He also extensively studied the inguinal ligament, which is sometimes called Colles' ligament.

Under the inguinal ligament, it is separated from the femoral artery by a portion of the psoas major.

The inguinal canal is situated just above the medial half of the inguinal ligament.

Lateral to this the floor is restored by approximating the femoral sheath to the inguinal ligament.

This connection occurs at the femoral triangle behind the inguinal ligament, which is usually near the head of the femur bone.

The inguinal ligament attaches to it.

Fox's sign is a clinical sign in which bruising is seen over the inguinal ligament.

It supplies anterior muscles of the thigh and a part of skin distal to the inguinal ligament.

It is a continuation of the external iliac artery and begins at the inguinal ligament (femoral head).

The superficial inguinal lymph nodes form a chain immediately below the inguinal ligament.

In surgery, the shelving is the fascia between the inguinal ligaments and above the pubic symphysis.

The inguinal ligament is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine.

The femoral canal is located below the inguinal ligament on the lateral aspect of the pubic tubercle.

T11 - Intersection of the midclavicular line, at the horizontal level midway between the level of the umbilicus and the inguinal ligament.

The retroinguinal space (or Bogros' space) is the extraperitoneal space situated deep to the inguinal ligament.

This fascia divides the space between the inguinal ligament and the hip bone into two lacunæ or compartments:

In the literature, hernia repairs commonly include mention of suturing to the "shelving edge of the inguinal ligament".

In modern usage, it is more common to discuss the surface anatomy in terms of nearby structures such as the inguinal ligament or iliac crest.
