	==~~See~~ also==		=== Location ===

			The pubic crest is located at the front of the pelvis, forming part of the pelvic girdle. It is situated above the [[pubic symphysis]], which is the cartilaginous joint uniting the left and right pubic bones.

			=== Structure ===

			The pubic crest is a bony ridge that is palpable through the skin. It is composed of dense [[cortical bone]] and serves as a site for muscle and ligament attachment. The crest is continuous with the [[pectineal line]] of the pubis, which runs along the superior ramus of the pubic bone.

			== Function ==

			The primary function of the pubic crest is to provide structural support and serve as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments. The [[inguinal ligament]], which runs from the pubic tubercle to the [[anterior superior iliac spine]], attaches to the pubic crest. This ligament is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the [[inguinal canal]].

			The [[rectus abdominis muscle]], a major muscle of the [[abdominal wall]], also attaches to the pubic crest. This muscle is responsible for flexing the [[lumbar spine]] and plays a key role in maintaining posture and supporting the [[trunk]].

			== Clinical Significance ==

			The pubic crest is an important landmark in various medical procedures. It is often used as a reference point in [[pelvic surgery]] and [[hernia repair]]. The crest is also a site of potential injury in cases of [[pelvic fractures]], which can occur due to trauma or accidents.

			In [[sports medicine]], the pubic crest is examined for signs of [[osteitis pubis]], an inflammatory condition that affects the pubic symphysis and surrounding structures. This condition is common in athletes and can cause significant pain and discomfort.

'''Pubic crest''' is a prominent anatomical feature located on the anterior part of the [[pubic bone]]. It is a ridge that extends laterally from the [[pubic tubercle]], and it serves as the point of attachment for several important muscles in the human body.

==Etymology==
The term "pubic crest" is derived from the Latin words "pubis" meaning "of the pubes" and "cresta" meaning "ridge". The pubic crest is so named because it is a ridge located in the pubic region of the body.

==Anatomy==
The pubic crest is a part of the [[pubic bone]], which is one of the three bones that make up the [[pelvis]]. The pubic bone is located in the lower part of the trunk of the human body, and it is covered by the [[pubic hair]] in adults. The pubic crest is a ridge that extends laterally from the [[pubic tubercle]], which is a prominent bump on the superior ramus of the pubic bone.

The pubic crest serves as the point of attachment for several muscles. These include the [[rectus abdominis muscle]], which is a long muscle that runs vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the human abdomen, and the [[pyramidalis muscle]], which is a small triangular muscle located in the lower abdomen.

==Clinical significance==
The pubic crest can be palpated during a physical examination, and it can be used as a landmark to locate other structures in the pelvic region. It can also be involved in certain medical conditions. For example, a [[hernia]] can occur when a part of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall near the pubic crest.
