Study Notes
Hip Bone Structure
- Hip bone is known as Os coxa, comprised of three regions: Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis.
Ilium Specifics
- Ala is located on the lateral superior aspect of the Ilium.
- Body of the Ilium is positioned at its inferior part.
- Acetabulum, a crucial joint socket, forms at the inferior part of the Ilium's body.
- Iliac crest represents the most superior portion of the Ilium.
- Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) is located at the anterior and superior part of the Ilium, marking the most anterior end of the iliac crest.
- Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS) is found inferiorly to the ASIS on the anterior part of the Ilium.
- Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS) is situated on the posterior superior part of the Ilium, forming the posterior end of the iliac crest.
- Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine (PIIS) is positioned just below the PSIS at the posterior and inferior part.
- Greater sciatic notch is located on the posterior and inferior side, just beneath the PIIS.
- Auricular surface can be found on the medial posterior aspect, superior to the greater sciatic notch.
Ischium Highlights
- Body of the Ischium is found medially, above the obturator foramen and below the greater sciatic notch.
- Ischial tuberosity, referred to as the "butt bone," is located on the posterior inferior part of the Ischium, behind the ischiopubic ramus.
- The Acetabulum lies in the superior lateral aspect of the Ischium and supports the posterior part of the acetabulum.
- Ramus is positioned on the inferior posterior side of the Ischium, beneath the obturator foramen.
- Lesser sciatic notch is located inferior to the ischial spine and superior to the ischial tuberosity, at the posterior part.
- Ischial spine is situated on the posterior superior part, between the greater and lesser sciatic notches.
Pubis Details
- Superior pubic ramus is found at the medial anterior part, positioned between the pubic crest and pubic tubercle, and above the obturator foramen.
- Inferior pubic ramus occupies the medial anterior aspect of the Ischium, located beneath the obturator foramen.
- Body of the Pubis lies between the superior and inferior pubic rami.
- Acetabulum's anterior portion is housed within the superior part of the Pubis.
