Pelvic girdle Flashcards
What are the joints of the pelvis?
Interpubic Symphyseal Sacroiliac Acetabulofemoral Lumbosacral Sacrococcygeal
What bones make up the pelvic girdle?
Sacrum, coccyx, and the innominate bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis)
What are the landmarks of the acetabulum?
Lunate surface (articular surface for AF joint) Acetabular fossa Acetabular notch (allows for crossing of legs without damaging femur)
Linea terminalis
Pubic crest
Arcuate line
Pecten pubis
Pelvic Inlet
Linea terminalis
Sacral promontory
Ala
Pubic symphysis
Pelvic outlet
Pubic symphysis Pubic arch Ischial tiberosity Ischial spine Apex of sacrum/coccyx
Pelvic cavity
Between inlet and outlet
Iliac crest
Superior margin if ilium
Muscle attachment
Iliac Spines
PSIS
PIIS
ASIS
AIIS
Muscle attachment
Gluteal lines
On lateral/posterior aspect of ilium
Anterior, posterior and inferior
Muscle attachment
Iliac Tubercle/Tuburculum
Between external lip and intermediate line of iliac crest
Muscle attachment
Iliac tuberosity
Posterior. Just superior to the auricular surface.
Muscle and ligament attachment
Iliac fossa
Interior surface of the ilium.
Between iliac crest and Arcuate line.
Muscle attachment
Arcuate line
Divides false and true pelvis. Anterior surface of ilium
Auricular surface
Joint surface for SI joint
Iliopectineal/iliopubic eminence
Junctions of ilium and pubis Where Arcuate line turns into pectineal line Muscle attachment (maybe)
Acetabulum
Joint surface for head of femur
Three landmarks: lunate surface, acetabular notch, acetabular fossa
Ischial tuberosity
Sit bones
Muscle and ligament attachment. Weight bearing.
Lesser sciatic notch
Pulley for obituator internus (int. rotator).
Inferior to Ischial spine.
Ischial spine
Divides greater and lesser sciatic notch
Muscle and ligament attachment.
Ramus of ischium
Meets with inferior public Ramus to form pubic arch.
Muscle origin
Obturator foramen
Made from ischium and pubis
Attachment for obiturator internance and externance membranes (inside and outside, respectively). Indirect muscle attachment
Superior pubic Ramus
Muscle attachment
Connects acetabulum to pubic tubercle
Pectineal line/pectin pubis
Muscle attachment
Continuation of Arcuate line
On top of superior pubic Ramus
