-
Posterior Sacral Foramina
- This is the same as the anterior sacral foramina, only from the back view.
-
What bone is this and what is the orientation?
- Os Coxae (Hip Bone)
- This is the right hip

-
- Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS) is the top one
- Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine (PIIS) is the bottom one.
- Both are muscle attachments
-
- Greater Sciatic Notch
- It is a notch cut into bone (nerves travel through this)
-
-
-
- Ischial Tuberosity
- "Tuberosity" = "rough ridge"
- Bone you sit on
-
Ischium: the portion of the ox coxae that is the most posterior and inferior
-
- Ischial Ramus
- "Ramus"= "straight portion"
- Like an arm projecting straight out
-
Ilium: the most superior part of the ox coxae
-
- Iliac crest
- Ridge on top of bone
- Gluteal muscles attach here
-
- Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
- Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS)
- Both are muscle attachment places
-
- Acetabulum
- The round part where the femur connects to the pelvis forming the hip
- Can only be seen from the lateral view
-
- Pubis/Body of Pubis
- Pubic bone: most anterior and inferior part of the ox coxae
-
- Inferior ramus of pubis
- The arm where one ramus meets another
-
- Obturator Foramen
- "Foramen" = "hole in bone"
- Obturator muscle attaches to this
-
What is this and what view is it?
Os Coxae in medial view bc you can't see the acetabulum
-
-
-
-
-
- Superior Ramus of Pubis
- Where one ramus meets another
-
-
Articular surface of Pubic (at pubic symphysis)
-
- Iliac Fossa
- "Fossa"="Large Depression"
- Muscle attachment
-
- Auricular Surface
- This little divot meets with the sacrum
-
-
-
Pubis Symphysis
- Cartilage where one bone meets another
- This allows movement (walking)
- Shock absorber
-
- Lesser Sciatic Foramen
- Turns into a foramen because of the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
-
- Greater sciatic foramen
- It is a foramen not a notch because of the sacrospinous ligament
-
- Sacrospinous Ligament
- Attaches to the bone
- Responsible for turning the greater sciatic notch into a foramen
- Also helps turn the lesser sciatic notch turn into a foramen
-
- Sacrotuberous Ligament
- Attaches to the bone
- Responsible for turning the lesser sciatic notch into a foramen
-
- Ischial Tuberosity
- Bone you sit on
-
What bone is it and what orientation is it in?
- Right Femur
- The left is anterior view and right is posterior view
- You know bc the condyles face the back and the neck faces into the hip
-
- Femoral Head
- Articulates with the acetabulum
-
-
- Lesser Trochanter
- More medial and posterior
- Muscle attaches here
-
- Adductor tubercle
- Big bump
- Medial and posterior
- Muscle attachment here
-
- Medial epicondyle and medial condyle
- Epicondyle is the textured ridge above the condyle which is a smooth surface that articulates with another bone
-
- Neck
- Where the bone thins out
-
- Greater Trochanter
- Bump important site for muscle attachment
- Lateral and superior
-
-
-
- Lateral Epicondyle
- "Epicondyle"="Ridge above condyle"
- Textured
-
- Lateral Condyle
- "Condyle"= "Smooth surface that articulates with another bone"
-
Posterior view of the greater trochanter
-
- Intertrochanteric crest
- Can only be seen from the posterior view
- Rounded ridge that connects the greater and lesser trochanters of the femur posteriorly
- Marks the junction of the neck and shaft of the bone.
-
- Gluteal Tuberosity
- Gluteal muscle attaches
-
- Linea Aspera
- "Linea Aspera"="White Line"
- Runs down posterior shaft
- Thigh muscle attaches here
-
- Intercondylar Fossa
- Large divot between condyles
-
-
-
- Patellar Ligament
- Holds patella and attaches to the tibial tuberosity
-
- Left is anterior view (smooth)
- Right is posterior view
- It will fall to the side it is from
-
-
- Articular facet for medial femoral condyle
- Articulates with the medial condyle on the femur
-
- Apex
- The point on the bottom
-
- Articular facet for lateral femoral condyle
- Articulate with the lateral condyle on femur
- This is bigger
- Always falls to this side which is the side the bone is from
-
Tibia
- Articulates with the femur
- Weight bearing bone
- Forms the knee joint
- Is the medial ankle bone
-
Fibula
Site for muscle attachment
-
- Intercondylar Eminence
- Ridge
-
- Lateral Condyle
- Articulates with the femur
-
-
- Fibula
- More lateral than the tibia
-
- Proximal tiofibular joint
- Distal tibiofibular joint
- Both are points of articulation with the tibia and fibula
