The pecten pubis (a.k.a. pectineal line) is the sharp upper border of the superior pubic ramus. It starts behind the pubic tubercle and extends laterally behind the iliopubic eminence, merging with the arcuate line of the ilium.
Medial to the anterior inferior iliac spine is a broad, shallow groove, over which the iliacus and psoas major muscles pass. This groove is bounded medially by an eminence, the iliopubic eminence (or iliopectineal eminence), which marks the point of union of the ilium and pubis. It constitutes a lateral border of the pelvic inlet.
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]
Together, the arcuate and pectineal lines are collectively known as the iliopectineal line. When combined with other structures such as the sacral promontory, ala of the sacrum, pubic crest, and pubic symphysis, they form the linea terminalis.
