Iliopectineal line
Anatomical structure on the pelvic bones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The iliopectineal line is the border of the iliopubic eminence.[1] It can be defined as a compound structure of the arcuate line (from the ilium) and pectineal line (from the pubis). With the sacral promontory, it makes up the linea terminalis.[2]
