-all fused at the acetabulum
What type of cartilage forms the iliac joint surfaces?
The fibrocartilage
What type of cartilage forms the sacral joint surface?
hyline cartilage
What type of joint is the SI joint
Synovial (diarthrosis)
Which is thicker in the SI joint, the hyline cartilage or the fibrocartilage? By how much?

Where does the anterior SI ligament run?
between the anterior and inferior borders of the iliac auricular surface, and the anterior border of the sacral auricular surface

Where is the interossious SI ligament located?
Deep to the dorsal SI ligament
Which is the weakest of the SI ligaments?
The Anterior SI ligament?
Which SI ligament forms the major connection between the sacrum and the innominate.
The interosseous ligament - It fills the space posterior-superior to the joint between the lateral sacral crest, and the iliac tuberosity
What is the AKA for the long ligament?
The dorsal SI ligament
What does the dorsal SI ligament fill in?

Describe the motion of the sacrum in nutation vs counter nutation.
Nutation: the anterior movement of the base of the sacrum
Counternutation: the posterior movement of the base of the scarcum
How does the movement of the sacrum effect the Dorsal DI Ligament?
In Nutation the Dorsal SI ligament slackens
in counternucation the dorsal SI ligament is pulled taught
