The ischiopubic ramus is a compound structure consisting of the following two structures:
- from the pubis, the inferior pubic ramus
- from the ischium, the inferior ramus of the ischium
It serves as part of the origin for the Obturator internus muscle.
It also marks a vertex of the anal triangle and the urogenital triangle.
The fascia of Colles is attached to its margin.
