What is the pelvis

What is the Lesser pelvis

What has the hip bone formed from
The fusing of 3 bones after puberty
- Pubis
- Ischium
- Ilium
What do the two hip bones attach to posteriorly

What do the two hip bones attach to anteriorly
Pubic symphysis
What is below the pubic symphysis and what is it defined by
Subpubic angle and it is defined by ischiopubic rami of pubis
at what level is the intercristal plane
L4 (highest point of iliac crest)
What are the borders of the pelvic inlet
Anteriorly- pubic symphysis
More laterally-pubic crest and pecten pubis
Even more laterally-Arcuate line of ilium
Ala of sacrum
Sacral promontory
Boundaries of the pelvic outlet
Anterior- Inferior aspect of Pubic symphysis
laterally- ISchiopubic ramus
Ischial tuberosity
Sacrotuberous ligaments
posterior- Coccyx
