what makes up the bony pelvis?
left and right os coxa, sacrum, sacroiliac joint, symphysis pubis
pelvic inlet
superior opening of true pelvis
pelvic brim
boundary of pelvic inlet/superior pelvic aperture; sacral promontory, lateral part of sacrum, arcuate line, pectin pubis and pubic crest and superior margin of pubic symphysis
true pelvis
pelvic region below pelvic brim
parts of hip bone
ilium, ischium, pubis; joined by triradiate cartilage in young individuals
standard anatomical position of bony pelvis
- symphyseal surface is parallel to the midsagittal plane
- acetabular notch downwards
- internal surfaces of pubis facing superoposteriorly
- pubic tubercle and ASIS in same coronal plane
sexual dimorphism (5)
- shape of pelvic inlet: heart-shaped (males); elliptical (females)
- subpubic angle: acute (males); obtuse (females)
- greater sciatic notch: J, narrow (males); L, wide (females)
- acetabulum (directed): laterally (males); anterolaterally (females)
- curvature of sacrum: uniform (males); sharper below pelvic surface (females)
parts of ilium
body, ala/wing
features of os coxa that the ilium contributes to
- acetabulum (2/5)
- greater sciatic notch
bony features of ilium
- crest - inner/outer lip, tubercle, intermediate area
- spine (4) - able to palpate PSIS and ASIS
surfaces of ilium and features
- gluteal surface
- gluteal lines from GSN (ant, post, inf)
- internal surface
- iliac fossa
- sacropelvic surface (iliac tuberosity, auricular surface, pelvic surface - arcuate line, auricular surface, most of GSN)
parts of ischium
body, single ramus
parts of os coxa that the ischium contributes to
- acetabulum (2/5)
- obturator foramen
- lesser sciatic notch
- greater sciatic notch
features of ischium
- greater sciatic notch (inferior border)
- ischial spine
- lesser sciatic notch
- ischial tuberosity (transverse ridge, superior oblique line, irregular vertical ridge)
- ramus
surfaces of the ischium and its features
- dorsal surface
- continuous with iliac gluteal surface
- ischial tuberosity on the inferior part - femoral surface
- faces inferiorly
- bounded by acetabulum, ischial tuberosity, obturator foramen - pelvic surface
- internal, smooth
parts of pubis
body, sup. and inf. ramus
surfaces and features of pubis
- anterior surface
- faces anteriorly , inferiorly - pelvic surface
- faces superiorly, posteriorly - symphyseal surface
- medially located
- flatter with increasing age
parts of the os coxa the pubis contributes to
acetabulum, obturator foramen
bony features of pubis
- crest - superior external border
- tubercle - from crest, medial end of inguinal lig. attaches
- superior pubic ramus - iliopubic eminence, 1/5 of acetabulum, obturator crest (ant. border of SPR), pectin pubis (arcuate line to pubic crest), inferior border
- inferior pubic ramus - conjoint ramus
median part of sacrum
- fusion of bodies, vertebral arches and (5) spinous processes
- includes sacral foramina
ala of sacrum
- fusion of transverse processes
- incl. 2 auricular surfaces -> articulates w auricular surface of ilium to form sacroiliac joint (plane synovial)
base of sacrum
sacral promontory, superior opening of sacral canal, upper surfaces of ala, 2 articular processes for L5
features of head of femur
fovea - for ligament teres (not covered by articular cartilage)
angle of femoral torsion
angle formed by the longitudinal axis of neck and coronal plane of femoral condyles; 10-15 deg, not much sexual dimorphism, decreases during childhood
angle of inclination
angle formed between longitudinal axis of neck and longitudinal axis of shaft; coxa vara - decrease, coxa valga - increase, avr 125 deg, decreases w age
origin of gluteus maximus
- posterior gluteal line and roughened area posterior to it
- iliac crest
- posterior surfaces of lower part of sacrum and side of coccyx
- sacrotuberous ligament
- gluteal aponeurosis
insertion of gluteus maximus
- iliotibial tract
- gluteal tuberosity of femur
actions of gluteus maximus
- extension of hip joint
- lateral rotation of hip joint
- abductor
- tighten iliotibial tract
innervation of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve
