The pectineal ligament, sometimes known as the inguinal ligament of Cooper, is an extension of the lacunar ligament. It runs on the pectineal line of the pubic bone. The pectineal ligament is the posterior border of the femoral ring.
Clinical significance
The pectineal ligament is strong, and holds suture well.[citation needed] This facilitates reconstruction of the floor of the inguinal canal.[citation needed] A variant of non-prosthetic inguinal hernia repair, first used by Georg Lotheissen in Austria, now bears his name.[citation needed]
History
The pectineal ligament was characterized by Astley Cooper in 1804.[1][2]
