Inferior Pubic Ramus - Borders

Borders

The medial border is thick, rough, and everted, especially in females. It presents two ridges, separated by an intervening space.

The ridges extend downward, and are continuous with similar ridges on the inferior ramus of the ischium;

  • to the external is attached the fascia of Colles.
  • to the internal the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm.

The lateral border is thin and sharp, forms part of the circumference of the obturator foramen, and gives attachment to the obturator membrane.

    Love works at the centre,
    Heart-heaving alway;

    To the borders of day.
