Pelvis Flashcards
3 pelvis bones
sacrum and 2 hips
what does the pelvis look like
bowl/ basin
what are the joints of the pelvis
symphysis pubis
sacroiliac joint
pelvic girdle
the ASIS/ pubic tubercle line up in
coronal plane
ASIS LINE UP IN
transverse plane
acetbalulum is located
inferiolaterally
functions of pelvis
support and protect pelvic organs
provide bony support to birth canal
provides extensive muscle attachment
support weight of head and trunk
allows weight transfer of trunk to
lower limb
standing weight goes to
femur
sitting weight goes to
ischial tuberosity
pelvic inlet
pubic crest/ pectineal lines/ acurate line/ sacral alar/ promontory
superior
the greater pelvis is superior to this
pelvic outlet
apex of the coccyx ischial tuberosity pubic symphysis
lesser pelivis is superior to this but inferior to inlet
female vs male pelvis
inlet is more round in female
ischial spines further apart in female
sacral prominance greater in males
sub pubic angle is more broad in females
wings of illium are wider in females
pubis sympysis
secondary
cartilegenious
b/w the syphmyseal surfaces
fibrocartledge disc
limited movement except in pregenancy the fibres softern due to relaxation hormone
sacroilliac joint anterior
anterior- synovial plane non axial
aricular area of illium
aricular surface of the sacrum
sacroilliac joiint posterior
posterior- fibrous joint
due to large amount of interosseius ligament
tuberosity - illiac and sacral
the sacroiliac joint surfaces in posterior
ridges complementry and ridges peaks and trooughs are complementry to each pther will interlock and stabilise the joint
sacroilliac ligament is found
anterior and posterior
posterior is long/ short fibres
illliolumbar ligament
illiac crest to the transverse proccess of verterbra
interoseus ligament
syndemossi- posterior aspect
inside joint will be anterior to posterior aspect
what form the sciatic foramen
sacrotuberious
sacrospinus
sacrotuberous ligament
lateral and large ligament
sacrum to ischial tuberosity
sacrospinus
deeep to sacrotuberous
sacroiliac joint features
60 percent of body weight
able to self lock
stable for weight transfer
sacrum is wedged inferior direction
