pelvic girdle
- sacrum
- coccyx
- and left and right os coxae
os coxae
- links the free part of the lower limb and the axial skeleton
- large, irregular shaped
- aka innominate
- consists of 3 bones
- ilium- superior
- ischium- posterior
- pubis- anterior
- prior to fusion these bones are separated by triradiate cartilage in the acetabulum
- pubis and ischium are separated by cartilage below the large obturator foramen
- articulates with ala of the sacrum by the large ear-shaped auricular surface posteriorly -> bounded anteriorly and posteriorly by strong sacroiliac ligaments
- os coxae articulate with each other anteriorly in the midline at the cartilaginous pubic symphysis
obturator foramen
-covered by a tendinous membrane
iliac crest
- superior margin of the os coxae
- projects ventrally as the anterior superior iliac spine
ischial spine
- below the auricular surface
- prominent
- ischium broadens inferiorly and laterally as the ischial tuberosity
greater/lesser sciatic notch
- between the auricular surface and the ischial spine
- deep
- between the ischial spine and the ischial tuberosity is the shallow lesser sciatic notch
- ligaments stretch across the posterior margins of both notches, transforming them into foramina
superior ramus of the pubis
- forms a sharp crest (pecten pubis)
- runs posteriorly from near the symphysis to the ilium
- the line of the crest continues on the inner surface of the ilium as a ridge to the sacroiliac joint-> arcuate line
- pecten pubis and arcuate line separate the pelvis into 2 parts: false pelvis above and true pelvis (obsterical pelvis) below
arcuate line
- the line of the crest continues on the inner surface of the ilium as a ridge to the sacroiliac joint-> arcuate line
- pecten pubis and arcuate line separate the pelvis into 2 parts: false pelvis above and true pelvis (obsterical pelvis) below
femur
- hemispherical head- proximal end
- head articulates in the acetabulum of the os coxae
- neck- connects head and shaft
- greater trochanter- at the top of the junction of the neck and shaft -> has a deep fossa on its medial side
- lesser trochanter- projects medially form the back of the shaft where it meets the neck
- intertrochanteric crest- ridge on the back of the shaft where the trochanters are connected
- gluteal tuberosity- roughened area lateral to the trochanter
- linea aspera- prominent ridge that the gluteal tuberosity continues down the back of
- lateral/medial condyle- distal end, articulate with the proximal end of the tibia -> condyles are separated posteriorly

leg
-comprises of tibia (medial) and fibula (lateral)
tibia
- tibial plateau- expanded proximal end that articulates with the femur by the medial and lateral condyle
- intercondylar eminence- separate the medial and lateral condyle in the center of the plateau
- shaft is triangular in cross section
- anterior edge- shin

- medial malleolus- bone that projects medial and laterally
- talus- articulates with the distal surface of the tibia and with the lateral surface of the medial malleolus
fibula
- head- expanded proximal end that articulates with a facet on the tibia just below its lateral condyle
- shaft is very slender bc the bone bears practically no weight
- lateral malleolus- slightly enlarged distal end that is held tightly against a notch in the tibia by ligaments; medial surface articulates with talus
foot
- 26 bones
- tarsals- 7 -> ankle, heel
- metatarsals- 5 -> sole of foot
- phalanges-14 -> toes
- phalanges and associated metatarsal form a ray

proximal tarsals
- talus
- calcaneus
- navicular
- talus and calcaneus are the largest and most irregular shaped bones
talus
- spool-shaped superior surface
- articulates with the distal end of the tibia and the medial and lateral malleoli of the tibia and fibula
- ankle joint permits the foot to be plantarflexed and dorsiflexed
- talus sits atop the calcaneus and articulates anteriorly with the navicular
calcaneus
- articulates superiorly with the talus
- subtalar joint allows the foot to be inverted and everted
- articulates anteriorly with the cuboid bone
- posterior half of the calcaneus is expanded into a tuberosity (the heel) that makes initial contact with the ground (heel strike) during walking and running
- also serves as the attachment of the large calf muscles by the achilles tendon
