    The Pelvis Structure the Pelvic Region Is the Lower Part of the Trunk

    The pelvis Structure The pelvic region is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs. It includes several structures: the bony pelvis (or pelvic skeleton) is the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk, subdivided into: the pelvic girdle (i.e., the two hip bones, which are part of the appendicular skeleton), which connects the spine to the lower limbs, and the pelvic region of the spine (i.e., sacrum, and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton) the pelvic cavity, is defined as the whole space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, subdivided into: the greater (or false) pelvis, above the pelvic brim , the lesser (or true) pelvis, below the pelvic brim delimited inferiorly by the pelvic floor(or pelvic diaphragm), which is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis. Pelvic floor separate the pelvic cavity above from the perineum below. The pelvic skeleton is formed posteriorly (in the area of the back), by the sacrum and the coccyx and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the sides), by a pair of hip bones. Each hip bone consists of 3 sections, ilium, ischium, and pubis. During childhood, these sections are separate bones, joined by the triradiate hyaline cartilage. They join each other in a Y-shaped portion of cartilage in the acetabulum. By the end of puberty the three bones will have fused together, and by the age of 25 they will have ossified. The two hip bones join each other at the pubic symphysis.

The mismatch can arise from subtle morphologic alterations in the anatomy or orientation of the ball-and-socket components (for example, a bony prominence at the head-neck junction or acetabular over-coverage) with articular cartilage damage initially occurring from abutment of the femoral neck against the acetabular rim, typically at the anterosui per or aspect of the acetabulum. Although hip joints can possess the morphologic features of FAI without symptoms, FAI may become pathologic with repetitive movement and/or increased force on the hip joint. High-demand activities may also result in pathologic impingement in hips with normal morphology. s It ha been proposed that impingement with damage to the labrum and/or acetabulum is a causative factor in the development of hip osteoarthritis, and that as many as half of cases currently categorized as primary osteoarthritis may have an etiology of FAI.

    ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Anatomy Journal of Africa. 2021. Vol 10 (1):1974-1979 GROSS ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON THE HIND LIMB OF THE SITATUNGA (Tragelaphus spekii). Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama, Sulaiman Olawoye Salami, Esther Solomon Kigir, Alhaji Zubair Jaji Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria Abbreviated title: Hind limb bones of the Sitatunga Corresponding address: Kenechukwu Tobechukwu Onwuama. Telephone number: 08036425961. E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sitatunga, Tragelaphus spekii, is a swamp dwelling antelope resident in West Africa. This study was carried out to document unique morphological and numerical information on the hind limb bones of this ruminant. Two (2) adults of both sexes were obtained as carcass at different times after post-mortem examination and prepared to extract the bones via cold water maceration for use in the study. The presence of a sharp pointed ilio-pubic eminence at the junction between the cranial border of the ilium and pubis; less prominent ischial tuber, inconspicuous ischiatic arch and a large oval obturator foramen were unique features of the Ossa coxarum that distinguished it from that of small ruminants. The Femur’s medial condyle was obliquely orientated, the fibula was absent while the long Tibia was typical of ruminant presentation. It was observed that the morphological features of the tarsals and Pes were also typical. However, the last Phalanges presented characteristic long triangular shaped bones with sharp pointed ends. The total number of bones making up the forelimb was accounted to be 45. In conclusion, this study has provided a baseline data for further biological, archeological and comparative anatomical studies.

    Sex Determination Using the Distance Between Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine and Ischial Spine in Dry Human Innominate Bone K

    Research Article Sex determination using the distance between posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine in dry human innominate bone K. Akshaya, Karthik Ganesh Mohanraj* ABSTRACT Aim: This study aims to determine the sex using the distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine. Introduction: Hip bone is taken into account because it is the most sexual dimorphic skeletal component in humans. The greater sciatic notch is very valuable as a result of its proof against damage and is extremely sexually dimorphic. Sexual dimorphism points to the contrasting features between male and female in relation to the size and appearance. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a total of 60 dry human pelvic bones of unknown sex and without any gross abnormality were collected from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, for evaluation. With the help of Vernier caliper and ruler, the measurements such as maximum jugular length, maximum jugular breadth, and diameter were measured. The results obtained were analyzed, tabulated, and represented graphically. Results: The distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine is greater in females than in males amped that the depth of the sciatic notch is lesser in females. All these parameters help us distinguish female and males pelvis. Thus, the pelvic bone helps in the determination of sex and is highly sexually dimorphic. Conclusion: The distance between the posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine is greater in females than in males amped that the depth of the sciatic notch is lesser in females. All these parameters help us distinguish female and males pelvis.

    Revised January 2014 3 CE Credits Iliopsoas Muscle Injury in Dogs Quentin Cabon, DMV, IPSAV Centre Vétérinaire DMV Montréal, Quebec Christian Bolliger, Dr.med.vet, DACVS, DECVS Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital Victoria, British Columbia Abstract: The iliopsoas muscle is formed by the psoas major and iliacus muscles. Due to its length and diameter, the iliopsoas muscle is an important flexor and stabilizer of the hip joint and the vertebral column. Traumatic acute and chronic myopathies of the iliopsoas muscle are commonly diagnosed by digital palpation during the orthopedic examination. Clinical presentations range from gait abnormalities, lameness, and decreased hip joint extension to irreversible fibrotic contracture of the muscle. Rehabilitation of canine patients has to consider the inciting cause, the severity of pathology, and the presence of muscular imbalances. ontrary to human literature, few veterinary articles have been Box 2.

    A Study of Sexual Dimorphism of Human Hip Bone by Measurements Between Ileum and Pubis

    Original article A study of sexual dimorphism of human hip bone by measurements between ileum and pubis Vijayeendra Kanabur1, Anita Deshpande2 1Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, Al Ameen Medical College, Vijaypura, Karnataka, India 2Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology, Al Ameen Medical College, Vijaypura, Karnataka, India Abstract Background: Identification of sex of an individual from human skeletal remains is of great medicolegal significance. The hip bone is considered as an ideal bone for sex determination as it provides the highest accuracy levels for sex determination. Aim: The present study was done to find out important measurements between ileum and pubis that would significantly differentiate the sex of human hip bone. Methods: For this study 65 human hip bones (35 male and 30 female) of known sex were obtained from the department of Anatomy. Three parameters were used for determination of sex of human hip bone. These were 1) Distance between anterior inferior iliac spine to pubic tubercle 2) Distance between anterior inferior iliac spine to superior end of the symphysial surface and 3) Distance from the anterior inferior iliac spine to iliopubic eminence. These parameters were measured using the instrument vernier caliper. Results: In the present study significant statistical difference was seen in between the mean values of 1. Distance between the anterior inferior iliac spine to pubic tubercle. The mean value on the right side was found to be 8.86 cm in males and 6.93 cm in females. On the left side the mean value was found to be 8.12 cm in males and 6.20 cm in females.
