The ischial tuberosity (or tuberosity of the ischium, tuber ischiadicum), also known colloquially as the sit bones or sitz bones, [1] or as a pair the sitting bones, [2] is a large posterior bony protuberance on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet.
The ischial bursa is a synovial bursa located between gluteus maximus muscle and ischial tuberosity. [4] When in a seated position, the ischial bursa is put under the highest amount of pressure, which is most significant against a hard surface. [3] Friction from exercise can lead to inflammation of the ischial bursa, known as bursitis. [1]
If the athlete is fatigued or has not warmed up properly he/she may suffer a hamstring strain/rupture, which is the tearing of the hamstring muscle. Avulsion of the biceps femoris tendon is the complete pulling away of the tendon from the bone. This most commonly occurs where the long head attaches to the ischial tuberosity.
pudendal nerve entrapment, ischiofemoral impingement, greater trochanter ischial impingement, and ischial tunnel syndrome. [1] Treatment: Conservative treatments include physical therapy, analgesics, and injections. [2] [4] Surgical treatment is a sciatic nerve decompression and/or muscle resection. [5]
Similar calcification and ossification may be seen at peripheral entheseal sites, including the shoulder, iliac crest, ischial tuberosity, trochanters of the hip, tibial tuberosities, patellae, and bones of the hands and/or feet. [6] DISH can be a complicating factor when suffering from trauma involving the spine.
Pain while sitting is a well known symptom when having ischial tuberosity [12] pain, myofascial pain syndrome, coccyx pain , failed back surgery, arachnoiditis, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and back pain in general. An inability to sit is one of the signs of chronic low back pain. [13]
Clinically, an avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity may occur. [ 2 ] Avulsion fractures of the hip bone (avulsion or tearing away of the ischial tuberosity) may occur in adolescents and young adults during sports that require sudden acceleration or deceleration forces, such as sprinting or kicking in football, soccer, jumping hurdles ...
Pressure ulcers can trigger other ailments, cause considerable suffering, and can be expensive to treat. Some complications include autonomic dysreflexia, bladder distension, bone infection, pyarthrosis, sepsis, amyloidosis, anemia, urethral fistula, gangrene and very rarely malignant transformation (Marjolin's ulcer – secondary carcinomas in chronic wounds).
