Osteology of Pelvis and Gluteal Region Flashcards
Acetabulum
Hip bone
- Cup shaped depression articulates with head of femur
Acetabular fossa
Non-articular fossa
Lunate surface
Peripheral acetabulum is articular portion
Acetabular notch
- The acetabular notch is a deep notch in the acetabulum of the hip bone. - Continuous with the circular non-articular depression (acetabular fossa) at the bottom of the cavity
- Contains a mass of fat and allows passage of acetabular ligament, nutreint vessels and nerves
- The margins of the notch serve as the attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur
Two portions of ilium
- Wing (ala) of ileum
- Body of ileum
External surface of wing
AKA dorsum
- Posterior gluteal line
- Anterior gluteal line
- Inferior gluteal line
Posterior gluteal line
- Shortest line
- Gluteus maximus takes its origin posterior to the posterior gluteal line
Anterior gluteal line
- Longest line
- Gluteus medius originates between the posterior and anterior gluteal lines
Inferior gluteal line
- Least distinct line
- Gluteus minimus originates between the anterior and inferior gluteal line
What originates between the inferior gluteal line and the margin of the acetabulum?
Rectus femoris
Internal surface of wing of ilium
- Superior border = iliac crest
- Inferior border = arcuate line
- Anterior border = ASIS and AIIS
- Posterior border = PSIS
- Other features = iliac fossa, sacroiliac joint, iliac tuberosity
Iliac crest
- Anterior point = ASIS
- Posterior point = PSIS
- External lip is the attachment for fascia lata and tensor fascia lata
- Internal lip is the attachent for iliac fascia and iliacus muscle
Inferior border of internal surface of ilium
Arcuate line
Anterior border of wing of ilium
- ASIS
- AIIS
There is a notch between the two spines
Attachments to ASIS
“SITI”
- S = sartorius m.
- I = iliacus m.
- T = tensor fascia latae m.
- I = inguinal ligament
Attachments to AIIS
“ISP” - Is St. Paul
- I = iliofemoral ligament
- S = straight head of rectus femoris
- P = portion of iliacus m.
There is a groove medial to the AIIS for psoas major and iliacus muscles to pass
Iliopectineal eminence
- Site of fusion between pubis and ilium
- Located medial to groove for iliopsoas
PSIS
- Posterior border of ilium
- Attachment for sacroiliac ligament
- S for “See” - See SITI Is St. Paul
There is also a PIIS
Iliac fossa
Concave area
o Nutrient foramen in its center
o Iliacus m. inserts here
Sacroiliac joint
o Posterior to iliac fossa
o Articulation between sacrum and ilium
Iliac tuberosity
Attachment sacroiliac ligaments
o Posterior to articular area
Body of ilium
External Surface
o Forms portion acetabulum
Internal Surface
o Part wall bony pelvis
o Obturator internus takes origin here
