[[Summary Article|<h5>'''SUMMARY'''</h5>]]
<br/>1. Known as Fascia Lata.
<br/>2. Scarpa's fascia of the abdominal wall connects to the Fascia Lata at a point lateral to the pubic tubercle <i>but below the inguinal ligament. </i>3. The saphenous opening lies below this line, hence a femoral hernia (which passes through the saphenous opening) can never lie beneath the Scarpa's fascia.
