Tendinous Arch of Pelvic Fascia[edit | edit source]
The Tendinous Arch of Pelic Fascia is a significant anatomical structure found within the pelvis. It is a thickened band of fascia that provides support to the pelvic organs. This structure is also known as the white line of the pelvis or the arcus tendineus fasciae pelvis.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia is a fibrous arch that extends from the pubic bone to the ischial spine. It is formed by the thickening of the obturator fascia and serves as the origin for several muscles, including the Levator ani and the coccygeus.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia is to provide support to the pelvic organs. It also serves as an attachment point for several muscles that are involved in maintaining continence and supporting the pelvic organs.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
The tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia plays a crucial role in several surgical procedures, including pelvic organ prolapse repair and sling procedures for urinary incontinence. Understanding the anatomy of this structure is essential for surgeons to avoid complications during these procedures.
