The pelvis is made
up of
2 innominate bones
which meet:
anteriorly at the
pubic symphysis
•
and
•posteriorly
sacrum
at the
Sacrum
Innominate
bone
Pubic
Symphysis

bone
The innominate
bone is made
up of 3 fused
bones:
1.
Ischium
2.
Ilium

Important landmarks
to note are:
•
Iliac Crest
Anterior-superior
iliac spine (ASIS)
•
Posterior-superior
iliac spine (PSIS)
•
Ischial tubersosity
(also called the I.T.s,
the ischial “tubes”,
or your “sit bones”
•
•
Acetabulum
Lateral view
When we talk
about the hip
we are
referring to the
articulation
between the
acetabulum of
the pelvis and
the head of
the femur.
The hip joint is
a ball and
socket joint.
The femur is
the longest
and strongest
bone in the
body.
The shape of
the proximal
portion of the
femur changes
dramatically
from infancy to
adulthood.

Psoas Minor

Psoas Major
Note: the Psoas major and
minor muscles span both the
lumbar spine and the hip,
therefore are 2 joint muscles.
