Study Notes
- The right hip bone of an adult is shown in the anatomical position
- The anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the anterior aspect of the pubis lie in the same coronal plane
- The large hip bone is constricted in the middle and expanded at its superior and inferior ends
- The symphysial surface of the pubis articulates with the corresponding surface of the contralateral hip bone
- The auricular surface of the ilium articulates with a corresponding surface of the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint
