Intertubercular plane
Transverse plane in anatomy of hominid abdomen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lower transverse plane midway between the upper transverse and the upper border of the pubic symphysis; this is termed the intertubercular plane (or transtubercular), since it practically corresponds to that passing through the iliac tubercles; behind, its plane cuts the upper border of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5).
