Study Notes

Ilium

  • Has 3 borders and 2 surfaces
  • Upper border (iliac crest): Extends between anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine, forming an S-curve.
  • Anterior two-thirds has inner and outer lips with intermediate area in between.
  • Iliac tubercle: Bony prominence located on outer lip, approximately 5 cm behind anterior superior iliac spine.
  • Posterior border: Begins at anterior superior iliac spine, ends at inferior iliac spine.
  • Iliac spine: Forms upper margin of greater sciatic notch.
  • Iliac fossa: Located on the inner/pelvic surface, separated by the arcuate line from other areas.
  • Gluteal lines (3): Post, Middle, & Inferior, visible on outer surface.
  • Auricular surface: Articulates with sacrum, synovial joint.

Pubis

  • Anterior 1/5 of hip bone
  • Has 3 surfaces (anterior, posterior, medial)
  • Body of pubis: Articulates with medial surface of opposite bone, forming pubic symphysis.
  • Pubic crest: Upper border, ends laterally in pubic tubercle.
  • Superior pubic ramus: Has 3 surfaces- upper pectineal (bounded behind by pectineal line), posterior pelvic surface and inferior obturator surface.
  • Inferior pubic ramus: Joins ischial ramus forming inferior pubic arch.
  • Has 2 surfaces: Outer and Inner

Ischium

  • Lower and posterior 2/5 of hip bone
  • Body of ischium: Has 2 borders. The anterior border forms part of obturator foramen. The posterior border forms lower part of greater sciatic notch.
  • Ischial spine: Located below greater sciatic notch.
  • Lesser sciatic notch: Follows ischial spine, and is below lesser sciatic notch.
  • Ischial tuberosity: Projects from body, divided by horizontal ridge into upper and lower parts.
  • Upper part is quadrangular, divided by oblique ridge into upper lateral and lower medial areas.
  • Lower part is triangular, divided by vertical ridge into medial and lateral parts.
