Lateral to the inguinal aponeurotic falx (i.e. the conjoint tendon) is a ligamentous band connected with the lower margin of the transversalis fascia and extending down in front of the inferior epigastric artery to the superior ramus of the pubis; it is termed the interfoveolar ligament of Hesselbach and sometimes contains a few muscular fibers.
