Prone, direct, muscle energy, for sacral rotation on both same and opposite axes 2. HVLA treatment for sacral rotation on both same and opposite axes 3. Counterstain treatment of sacral tender points and of sacral torsion Counterstrain Multifidi and Rotatores : UP5L Gluteii – maximus: HFO-SI, HI, P 3L- P 4L ,medius, minimus Piriformis Background and Basis The 4 Osteopathic Tenets (Principles) 1. The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit. 2. Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related. 3. The body is capable of self- regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance. 4. Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of these basic principles. Somatic Dysfunction - Defined • “Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system: • Skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures, • And… • Related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements” Treatment Options for Somatic Dysfunctions All somatic dysfunctions have a restrictive barrier which are considered “pathologic” This restriction inhibits movement in one direction which causes asymmetry within the joint: The goal of osteopathic treament is to eliminate the restrictive barrier thus restoring symmetry….

  • 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.

  • The Association of Iliac and Sacral Insufficiency Fractures and Implications for Treatment: the Role of Bone Scans in Three Different Cases
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.3861 The Association of Iliac and Sacral Insufficiency Fractures and Implications for Treatment: The Role of Bone Scans in Three Different Cases Sandeep Kola 1 , Michelle Granville 2 , Robert E. Jacobson 2 1. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Larkin Community Hospital, Miami, USA 2. Neurological Surgery, University of Miami Hospital, Miami, USA Corresponding author: Michelle Granville, [email protected] Abstract Iliac wing fractures are under-diagnosed fractures often associated with sacral insufficiency fractures in osteoporotic patients. They are rarely seen alone. Insufficiency fractures of the iliac bone can often be missed on computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) yet identified on radioisotope bone scans. Symptomatic iliac fractures present with more lateralized pain in the hip and groin compared to patients with only sacral insufficiency fractures. Since the acetabulum is the key weight- bearing articulation between the sacrum and pelvis and the femoral head and leg, worsening of iliac stress fractures can have major effects on weight bearing and should be a consideration in patients with persistent pain in this area. The anatomy of the ilium and relationship to other pelvic insufficiency fractures is reviewed as well as treatment options. Typical cases are presented where the iliac fractures were found on bone scan either in addition to the more common sacral fracture or due to the persistence of symptoms of hip and thigh pain. Categories: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Radiology, Neurosurgery Keywords: insufficency fractures, ilium, sacral fractures, sacroplasty, acetabulum rim fractures, osteoporosis Introduction The iliac bone composes part of the pelvic ring and can be affected by both traumatic and osteoporotic sacral and pelvic fractures [1-2].

  • 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.

  • Tragelaphus Spekii
    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.
