Pubic crest

Bone: Pubic crest
Right hip bone. External surface. (Crest of pubis labeled at center-bottom right.)
Latin	crista pubica
Gray's	subject #57 236

Medial to the pubic tubercle is the pubic crest, which extends from this process to the medial end of the bone.

It affords attachment to the inguinal falx, and to the External Abdominal Oblique and Pyramidalis.

The point of junction of the crest with the medial border of the bone is called the angle; to it, as well as to the symphysis, the superior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring is attached.
