Q

Bones of the Hip (3)

**note

A
  1. Ilium : upper margin characterized by iliac crest
    - lateral surface exhibits 3 gluteal lines for attachment of gluteal muscles
  2. Ischium contributes to acetabulum and forms the ischial spine and ischial tuberosity

  3. Pubis- formes anterior and medial aspects of each hip bone
    - forms “c” upper limb being the superior pubic ramus and lower limb being inferior pubic ramus

*all three contribute to site of articulation with the femoral head

girls > boys

when acetabulum is shallow as result or failure to fevelop properly in utero
