Contracted Pelvis
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The pelvis is made up of the sacrum, the coccyx, and two os coxae Each os coxae is made up of the ischium, the ilium, and the pubis. The pelvis is formed inferiorly between the sacrum and the coccyx (sacrococcygeal symphysis), posteriorly between the sacrum and each ilium (sacroiliac (SI) joint), and anteriorly between the pubic bodies (pubic symphysis). [1]
The pelvic cavity is divided into the true pelvis and the false pelvis. The pelvic inlet, is the anatomical limit between the true pelvis below and the false pelvis above.
