    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).

  • Determination of Sex Using Os Coxae in Relation to Ischial Tuberosity – a Morphometric Study M
    Research Article Determination of sex using os coxae in relation to ischial tuberosity – A morphometric study M. Shruthi, Karthik Ganesh Mohanraj* ABSTRACT Introduction: Sex determination of an unidentified individual is one of the main objectives when human skeletal remains are found, both in forensic investigation and archaeological studies. The distinctive morphology of the human hip bone and its clear sexual dimorphism build it of interest from anatomical, social science, and rhetorical points of analysis. Determination of biological sex is one of the most important determinations to be made from undocumented human remains which this study is aimed for. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a total of 30 dry human pelvic bones of unknown sex and without any gross abnormality will be collected from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, for evaluation. With the help of Vernier caliper and ruler, the measurements such as minimum iliac breadth (MIB), maximum auricular length (MAL), and maximum ischiopubic length (MIPL) are measured. The results obtained were analyzed, tabulated, and represented graphically. Results: The average of MIB in male was found to be 57.61 ± 2.11 mm and in female was found to be 53.45 ± 3.14 mm. The MAL in male was 53.71 ± 1.67 mm and 49.16 ± 2.82 mm in females. The MIPL in male and female was 113.23 ± 4.89 mm and 107.2 ± 7.63 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The chances of attaining high levels of accuracy and reliability regarding sex identification are related to the skeletal components analyzed and the ability of techniques utilized to analyze shape and size differences among the sexes.

This type of hernia is the rarest form Sciatic hernia of pelvic sciatic hernias. It may cause a wide range of cryptic clinical symptoms of pain, obstructive uropathy, Ureteral obstruction sepsis, or renal failure. This condition has been described in terms of involvement in inguinal, femoral, sciatic, Sepsis obturator, and thoracic regions. A high index of clinical suspicion is essential for diagnosis because the hernia Hydronephrosis develops in the pelvic cavity and becomes overlayed by the large gluteal muscle. Since ureterosciatic hernias Renal failure have not been adequately reviewed in the literature due to the limited number of case reports, we aim to aid the clinician's knowledge by discussing the relevant anatomy, classification, clinical symptoms, optional radiology, optional diagnostic instrumentation, and management.

Describe in detail the hip bone, the sacrum, and the coccyx. Describe the boundaries of the pelvic inlet and outlet. Identify the articulations of the bony pelvis. List the major differences between the male and female pelvis. List the different types of female pelvis. Overview: • check this video to have a good picture about the lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJOT1cQHFqA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v5AsAESg1Q&feature=youtu.be • BONY PELVIS = 2 Hip Bones (lateral) + Sacrum (Posterior) + Coccyx (Posterior). • Hip bone is composed of 3 parts = Superior part (Ilium) + Lower anterior part (Pubis) + Lower posterior part (Ischium) only on the boys slides’ BONY PELVIS Location SHAPE Structure: Pelvis can be regarded as a basin with holes in its walls. The structure of the basin is composed of: Pelvis is the region of the Bowl shaped 4 bones 4 joints trunk that lies below the abdomen. 1-sacrum A. Two hip bones: These form the lateral and 2-ilium anterior walls of the bony pelvis. 3-ischium B. Sacrum: It forms most of the posterior wall. 4-pubic C. Coccyx: It forms most of the posterior wall. 5-pubic symphysis 6-Acetabulum Function # Primary: The skeleton of the pelvis is a basin-shaped ring of bones with holes in its wall connecting the vertebral column to both femora. Its primary functions are: bear the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing; transfer that weight from the axial skeleton to the lower appendicular skeleton when standing and walking; provide attachments for and withstand the forces of the powerful muscles of locomotion and posture.

Sports and hip injuries • Hip and pelvis subjected to substantial forces. – Up to 8 x body weight • Adult: 5 - 6% of athletic injuries. • Pediatric: 10 - 24% of athletic injuries. • High risk sports: Ballet, Running, Soccer, Contact sports. Introduction Hip & Groin Pain • One of the most difficult problems to diagnose and treat in sports. • Symptoms are often indistinct, poorly localized. • Early and accurate diagnosis is essential: – Rehab times prolonged – May result in chronic, disabling pain “Hip” Pain • Patients may present with chief complaint of “hip” pain, but it may not actually be coming from their hip – Intrarticular hip – Extrarticular hip – Lumbar spin – Sacroiliac joint – Other - Intra-abdominal, hernia, GI, GU History • Knee pain – Can be the initial complaint of hip pathology – Not uncommon for a patient with hip arthritis to present with knee pain – Differentiate with exam, X-rays, injections Initial evaluation • Hip pain – History • Where, how long, trauma, always aware, mechanical, radicular, what aggravates – Joint vs not joint • Joint: FAI, dysplasia, OA, AVN • Not Joint: Gluteal, back, hernia, hamstring, butt History • Absence of groin pain does not preclude an intraarticular hip injury • Testicular pain does not come from the hip Differential Diagnosis Hip & Groin Pain ADULT PEDIATRIC • Stress fractures • Avulsion fracture • Osteitis pubis • ASIS
