1: Pelvic and Perineal Osteology and Arthrology Flashcards
What is the dividing line in between the abdomen and the pelvis?
Pelvic brim
Where is the true pelvis located?
In between the pelvic brim and the pelvic diaphragm.
What is the linea terminalis made up of?
- Arcuate line of thte ilum
- Pectin pubis
What is the linea terminalis?
Coxal contribution to the pelvic brim; made up of the arcuate line of the ilium and the pecten pubis.
What is the transition point between the trunk and LE?
pelvis
What makes up the iliac ala?
- 1. Anterior gluteal line of the ilium
- 2. Posterior gluteal line of the ilium
- 3. Inferior gluteal line of the ilium
What are the parts of the coxal bone?
- 1. Ilium
- 2. Pubis
- 3. Ischium
What makes up the bony pelvis?
- 1. Paired coxal bones
- 2. Sacrum
- 3. Coccyx
What is the pelvic girdle?
Paired coxal bones, which are joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis.
What is the difference between the pubic arch and the supubic angle?
- Pubic arch -> bony arch in between the R/L inferior pubic and ischial rami
- Subpubic angle -> the angle that the pubic arch creates
CN: Describe L5 spondylolysis and L5 spondylothesis.
- L5 Spondyloysis -> separation of the vertebral arch from the vertebral body.
- L5 spondylolisthesis -> anterior displacement of L5 from the sacrum
What makes up the pelvic canal?
The pelvic canal is the passageway in between the superior pelvic aperture and the inferior pelvic aperture.
- Superior pelvic aperture (pelvic inlet) is located at the pelvic brim, between the greater and lesser pelvis.
- Inferior pelvic aperature (pelvic outlet)
What are the sexual diferences in M and F pelvis?
- Males: thicker, heavier, a deeper greater pelvis, narroer and deeper lesser pelvis, android pelvic inlet, small pelvic outlet, narrow pubic arch, round obturator foramen and large acetabulum.
- Females have thinner, lighter pelvis, a shallow greater Pelvis, wide and shallow lesser Pelvis, Gynecoid Pelvic Inlet, large Pelvic Outlet, wide Pubic Arch, oval-shaped Obturator Foramen and small Acetabulum.
Classic pelvis shapes in M and W are called what?
- M: android
- W: Gynecoid
What are the abnormal pelvic shapes that may cause childbirth do be difficult?
- Anthropoid (elongated anterior to posterior).
- Platypelloid (elongated laterally)
How do we measure to determine if a woman is a good candidate for vaginal childbirth?
Measure pelvic diameters (conjugates)
CN: Pelvic fractures (crush fractures)
Pelvis fractures almost always involves multiple fractures because the articulated pelvis is a bony ring and hard to break in only 1 place. Bc of this, the superior and inferior pubic rami are often broken on both sides.
What do we have to know for chondrology of the pelvis?
Interpubic disc is a fibrocartilaginous disc in between the L/R pubic symphyseal surfaces.
