The iliopubic tract is a thickened band of fibers curving over the external iliac vessels at the spot where they become femoral on the abdominal side of the inguinal ligaments and loosely connected with it. It is apparently a thickening of the transversalis fascia joined laterally to the iliac crest and arching across the front of the femoral sheath to be inserted by a broad attachment into the pubic tubercle and pectineal line behind the inguinal falx.
