Greater sciatic
Lesser sciatic
What are the 3 main joints of the bony pelvis and where are they?
Sacroiliac joint - between sacrum and ilium (right and left)
Pubic symphisis - fibrous cartilagenous disc between the two pubic bones
Hip joints - between head of femur and the acetabulum
Which bones make up the hindfoot?

What are the two main bony features proximal end of the femur?
Greater trochanter and the lesser trochanter
Where is the neck of the femur?
Distal to the head of the femur but proximal to the intertrochanteric line/crest
Where is the intertrochanteric line/crest?
Between the greater and lesser trochanter
Where is the gluteal tuberosity?
On the posterior side of the femur. The next tuberosity down from the greater and lesser trochanter
