Structure and Compartmentation - Pelvis and Perineum I Flashcards
pelvis
aka os coxa
-fusion of 3 bones
ilium
broad ala
articulates with sacrum (body)
forms upper 2/5 acetabulum
also ligament attachment to lumbar vertebrae
ischium
has superior and inferior rami - articulate with pubis and help form obturator foramen
posteroinferior 2/5 of acetabulum
rami articulate with pubis
pubis
consists of a short body
-with superior and inferior rami
superior rami - forms anterior 1/5 of acetabulum
pubic symphysis
fibrocartilage connecting two pubic bones
only site of movement in pelvis especially during pregnancy
thicker in females**
-responsive to hormonal changes during pregnancy
sacroiliac joints
left and right
synovial joint between sacrum and ilium
reinforcement of SI joint?
anterior, posterior, and interosseous sacroiliac ligaments
additional reinforcement - sacrotuberous ligament
sacrotuberous ligament
sacrum to ischial tuberosity
sacrospinous ligament
sacrum/coccyx to ischial spine
movement of SI joint
gliding, but can be rotatory
iliac fossa
interior surface of ilium
terminal line
superior aperture of pelvic inlet
-along iliopubic eminence to base of sacrum
divides to false pelvis (above) and true pelvis (below)
pelvic inlet
plane of terminal line superior
-pubic symphysis to sacral promontory
pelvic outlet
irregular lower border of pelvis
-pubic symphysis to coccyx
major pelvis
false pelvis
-above line
minor pelvis
true pelvis
-below line
normal erect position
pelvis tipped at 50-60 degrees from horizontal
base of sacrum 4” higher than symphysis
ASIS and symphysis pubis lie in same vertical plane
sexual dimorphism of pelvis
female has:
- shallower major pelvis
- shallower wider minor pelvis
- everted sciatic tubers
- broader sacrum with less curve
- superior aperture more oval
- subpubic angle greater
diameters of pelvis?
transverse
oblique
diagonal conjugate
true conjugate
4 types of pelvis
android
anthropoid
gynecoid
platypelloid
android pelvis
most common male
heart shaped inlet
anthropoid pelvis
2nd most common male
exaggerated anterior/posterior inlet
