Study Notes

Anatomy of the Hip Bone: Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis

The obturator canal remains open superiorly, serving as a route for neurovascular structures between the pelvic cavity and lower limb.
The ilium is the largest and widest part of the hip bone, consisting of the body of ilium and the ala of ilium (wing of ilium).
The iliac fossa is a shallow concave surface on the medial surface of the ala of ilium, giving origin to the iliacus muscle.
The sacropelvic surface of the ala of ilium has an auricular surface that articulates with the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint.
The external gluteal surface of the ala of ilium gives attachment to the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus muscles.
The iliac crest, running between the anterior superior and posterior superior iliac spines, is easily palpable and provides attachment for abdominal and back muscles.
The ischium consists of the body of ischium and the ramus of ischium, which fuses with the inferior pubic ramus to complete the obturator foramen.
The ischial tuberosity, located on the posteroinferior aspect of the ischium, is an important site for muscle attachment and supports the body when sitting.
The pubis is the most anterior portion of the hip bone, consisting of the body, superior pubic ramus, and inferior pubic ramus.
The pecten pubis, located on the superior pubic ramus, forms a part of the linea terminalis and pelvic inlet.
The ischiopubic ramus and body of pubis are associated with muscles of the medial femoral compartment of the thigh and some abdominal muscles.
The linea terminalis is a line that marks the boundary between the greater and lesser pelvis and the plane of the pelvic inlet.
