Lacunar ligament
lateral portion of the lacunar ligament that is fused to the periosteum of the pubic tubercle
Cooper’s ligament
This structure is described as the fusion of the inferior fibers of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis aponeurosis at the point where they insert on the pubic tubercle
