Study Notes
- The ilium has two bony surfaces: gluteal and iliac surface.
- The gluteal surface has three gluteal lines that provide attachment points for muscles.
- The iliac surface has a shallow depression called iliac fossa.
- The iliac fossa provides proximal attachment for the iliacus muscle.
- The bone forming the superior part of iliac fossa may become thin and translucent.
- The gluteal surface is bounded by the outer lip of the iliac crest and inferiorly by the inferior gluteal line.
- The iliac surface is bounded superiorly by the inner lip of the iliac crest and inferiorly by the arcuate line.
- On the right side, the iliac surface is in relation to the terminal ileum, cecum, and appendix.
- On the left side, it supports the distal descending colon and the proximal portion of the sigmoid colon.
- The iliac surface is the antero-medial surface, while the gluteal surface is the postero-lateral surface.
