Poupartova Bunch

Poupart's ligament (ligamentum Pouparti) is a strong elastic ligament that connects the pubic bone to the ischium and also participates in the formation of the sacrotuberous ligament. The ligament is named after the French anatomist and surgeon Pierre Popard (1616–1708), who first described it in 1670.

The Poupartian ligament is important for the stability of the hip joint. It provides a connection between the ischium and pubis bones, and also acts as a stabilizer for the hip joint, preventing its displacement. In addition, the Poupartian ligament is involved in transmitting force from the ischial tuberosity to the pubic bone, which helps maintain balance and stability when walking.

However, with age and certain diseases such as osteoporosis, the Poupartian ligament can become weaker and less elastic. This can lead to hip pain and decreased mobility. In such cases, surgery may be required to strengthen the ligament or replace it with a prosthesis.

Overall, the Poupartian ligament plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the hip joint and ensuring its normal function. However, her condition may worsen with age, so it is important to monitor her health and consult a doctor if necessary.



Poupart's ligament is a commissural cord connecting the lower surface of the body of the sphenoid bone with the anterior end of the lateral plate of the palatine bone. The importance of the Poupart ligament lies in the fact that it ensures the proper relative position of these anatomical formations and is therefore especially often damaged during surgical interventions in the oral cavity. First of all, this concerns the dissection of the palatal curtain during operations for plastic surgery of the nasal septum. Equally dangerous is its injury during operations on the upper jaw and resection of the ascending branch of the maxillary sinus due to carious lesions of the incisors or canines. Difficulties also arise during sinusectomy, especially extraoral (according to Kalvelis) even without the involvement of teeth. However, the most important thing
