Ligament: Pectineal ligament
The inguinal and lacunar ligaments.
Latin	ligamentum pectineum
From	lacunar ligament
To	pectineal line

The pectineal ligament (incorrectly known as the inguinal ligament of Cooper^[1], after Astley Cooper) is an extension of the lacunar ligament that runs on the pectineal line of the pubic bone.

It was characterized by Cooper in 1804.^[2][3]
