Inguinal Falx [Falx Inguinalis, Pna, Jna; Falx (Aponeurotica) Inguinalis, Bna; Syn.: Aponeurosis Crescent, Ligament of Henle, Tendon Connected, Tendon Connective]

The inguinal falx is one of the most important anatomical structures in the groin area. It is a bundle of tendon fibers that are located in the medial part of the inguinal space and are separated from the aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles.

The inguinal falx consists of two main parts: arcuate and transverse. The arcuate part is located along the lateral border of the rectus sheath. It starts from the area below the pubic bone and attaches to the ridge and tubercle of the pubic bone. The transverse part of the inguinal falx passes through the medial border of the inguinal triangle and connects to the aponeurosis of the internal oblique muscle.

The main function of the inguinal falx is to strengthen the anterior wall of the inguinal canal. It also plays an important role in maintaining the normal functioning of the abdominal muscles and preventing the development of hernias in this area.

However, under certain conditions, inguinal crescent aponeurosis can cause various diseases and complications. For example, its stretching or damage can lead to the development of an inguinal hernia. In addition, the inguinal falx can be damaged during abdominal surgery or abdominal trauma. In such cases, medical attention and treatment are required.

Thus, the inguinal crescent aponeurosis is an important anatomical formation in the groin region, which plays an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of this area and the prevention of various diseases. However, if the inguinal falciform aponeurosis is damaged or stretched, various complications can occur, so you need to be careful and monitor your health.

The inguinal crescent abdominal muscles form an arch at the lateral posterior surface of the greater omentum (falciforme aponeurosis) and continue on the inner surface of the falx. It, together with the cartilaginous part of this muscle, is called the crescent aponeurosis.

The parainguinal ligament is an auxiliary collateral of the deep femoral lymph node. It participates in the formation of the posterior inguinal fold.
