Skeletal remains have been used for sexing the sex determinations must be made using other less individual as bones of the body are last to perish after death. Hip bone, especially t he greater sciatic notch is valuable in deformed diagnostic features. The greater sciatic notch is especially bones because it is highly sexually dimorphic, is resistant to valuable in such situations because it is highly sexually damage, and thus can often be scored in poorly preserved dimorphic, is resistant to damage, and thus can often be skeletons.

  • Lab #23 Anal Triangle
    THE BONY PELVIS AND ANAL TRIANGLE (Grant's Dissector [16th Ed.] pp. 141-145) TODAY’S GOALS: 1. Identify relevant bony features/landmarks on skeletal materials or pelvic models. 2. Identify the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. 3. Describe the organization and divisions of the perineum into two triangles: anal triangle and urogenital triangle 4. Dissect the ischiorectal (ischioanal) fossa and define its boundaries. 5. Identify the inferior rectal nerve and artery, the pudendal (Alcock’s) canal and the external anal sphincter. DISSECTION NOTES: The perineum is the diamond-shaped area between the upper thighs and below the inferior pelvic aperture and pelvic diaphragm. It is divided anatomically into 2 triangles: the anal triangle and the urogenital (UG) triangle (Dissector p. 142, Fig. 5.2). The anal triangle is bounded by the tip of the coccyx, sacrotuberous ligaments, and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. It contains the anal canal, which pierced the levator ani muscle portion of the pelvic diaphragm. The urogenital triangle is bounded by the ischiopubic rami to the inferior surface of the pubic symphysis and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. This triangular space contains the urogenital (UG) diaphragm that transmits the urethra (in male) and urethra and vagina (in female). A. Anal Triangle Turn the cadaver into the prone position. Make skin incisions as on page 144, Fig. 5.4 of the Dissector. Reflect skin and superficial fascia of the gluteal region in one flap to expose the large gluteus maximus muscle. This muscle has proximal attachments to the posteromedial surface of the ilium, posterior surfaces of the sacrum and coccyx, and the sacrotuberous ligament.

  • Approach to the Anterior Pelvis (Enneking Type III Resection) Bruno Fuchs, MD Phd & Franklin H.Sim, MD Indication 1
    Approach to the Anterior Pelvis (Enneking Type III Resection) Bruno Fuchs, MD PhD & Franklin H.Sim, MD Indication 1. Tumors of the pubis 2. part of internal and external hemipelvectomy 3. pelvic fractures Technique 1. Positioning: Type III resections involve the excision of a portion of the symphysis or the whole pubis from the pubic symphysis to the lateral margin of the obturator foramen. The best position for these patients is the lithotomy or supine position. The patient is widely prepared and draped in the lithotomy position with the affected leg free to allow manipulation during the procedure. This allows the hip to be flexed, adducted, and externally rotated to facilitate exposure. 2. Landmarks: One should palpate the ASIS, the symphysis with the pubic tubercles, and the ischial tuberosity. 3. Incision: The incision may be Pfannenstiel like with vertical limbs set laterally along the horizontal incision depending on whether the pubic bones on both sides are resected or not. Alternatively, if only one side is resected, a curved incision following the root of the thigh may be used. This incision begins below the inguinal ligament along the medial border of the femoral triangle and extends across the medial thigh a centimeter distal to the inguinal crease and perineum, to curve distally below the ischium several centimeters (Fig.1). 4. Full thickness flaps are raised so that the anterior inferior pubic ramus is shown in its entire length, from the pubic tubercle to the ischial spine. Laterally, the adductor muscles are visualized, cranially the pectineus muscle and the pubic tubercle with the insertion of the inguinal ligament (Fig.2).

  • Curvature of the Greater Sciatic Notch in Sexing the Human Pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1*
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL SCIENCE Vol. 000, 000–000, 2006 Curvature of the greater sciatic notch in sexing the human pelvis HIDEO TAKAHASHI1* 1Department of Anatomy, Dokkyo University School of Medicine, 880 Kitakobayashi, Mibu-machi, Shimotuga-gun, Tochigi, 321-0293 Japan Received 11 November 2005; accepted 26 January 2006 Abstract The maximum curvature of the greater sciatic notch and two standardized indices were cal- culated for use in the sexing of human hip bones. This was done by means of quadratic regression of the contour points of the greater sciatic notch. The new variables are not directly affected by the osteo- metric landmarks (e.g. ischial spine, tubercle of the piriformis, and posterior inferior iliac spine) which determine the greatest width of the notch. These landmarks are, however, known to be ill-defined on occasion, but nevertheless have been used to derive the conventional depth-to-width index and angles of the sciatic notch. The curvature parameter and its new indices were applied to the sciatic notch of 164 Japanese hip bones of known sex (104 males and 61 females). The accuracy of the new variables in the determination of sex was assessed and compared with that of the conventional indices and angles of the sciatic notch. The best discriminating variable was found to be the posterior angle with an accu- racy of 91%. The new parameters of the present study that represent localized shape of the sharply curved edge of the notch diagnosed sex with an accuracy of 88%. In paleoanthropological or forensic cases, using the maximum curvature of the sciatic notch and its indices may be applicable to sexing the hip bones of specimens with postmortem damage.

  • Lab Manual Axial Skeleton Atla
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled.

Jamali, M.D., Anto T. Fritz, M.D., Deepak Reddy, B.S., and John P. Meehan, M.D. Abstract: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been recently established as a risk factor in the development of osteoarthritis of the hip. Intraosseous cysts are commonly seen on imaging of FAI. In most cases these cysts are incidental and do not require specific treatment at the time of surgical treatment of hip impingement. However, in some cases the cysts may mechanically compromise the acetabular rim or femoral neck. We present a technique for treating such cysts with an all-arthroscopic technique using a commercially available bone graft substitute composed of cancellous bone and demineralized bone matrix placed within an arthroscopic cannula for direct delivery into the cysts. This technique may be of benefit to surgeons treating FAI with an all-arthroscopic technique.

  • CT Evaluation of the Greater Sciatic Foramen in Patients with Sciatica
    337 CT Evaluation of the Greater Sciatic Foramen in Patients with Sciatica Burton A. Cohen 1 Sciatic and lower extremity neurologic symptoms may be from pathologic involvement Charles F. Lanzieri of the sacral plexus or sciatic nerve in the region of the greater sciatic foramen. Twenty­ David S. Mendelson five patients were reviewed who presented consecutively over a 4 year period with Michael Sacher sciatic symptoms secondary to pathologiC changes in the greater sciatic foramen. George Hermann Malignant neoplasm alone (18 patients) and malignant neoplasm associated with infec­ tion (two patients) account for most of these cases. Neurogenic tumors (three patients), John S. Train both benign and malignant, and infection alone (three patients) were less frequent. Jack G. Rabinowitz Although sciatic symptoms usually derive from spinal abnormalities, the evaluation of sciatic symptoms should not be considered complete without CT scanning of the greater sciatic foramen. The importance of computed tomography (CT) of the spine and sacrum in the evaluation of patients with sciatica and lower extremity neurologic symptoms has been well described [1-10]. Pathologic processes may involve the sacral plexus or sciatic nerve, causing lower extremity neurologic or sphincter symptoms by irritation of the long lumbar or sacral nerves. These processes may be occult to plain fi lm or myelographic examination. CT provides an accurate means of evaluating the sacrum and parasacral spaces including the greater sciatic foramen (GSF) [1-3]. Therefore, it is an extremely important technique in the evaluation of sciatic symptoms in those patients with a negative workup for spinal pathology. In the absence of sciatic symptoms, CT is also quite helpful in evaluating the GSF and its structures and in determining the nature and extent of pelvic inflammatory and neoplastiC processes.
