  2. Ischium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischium

    The superior ramus is a partial origin for the internal obturator and the external obturator muscles. The inferior ramus serves partially as origin for part of the adductor magnus muscle and the gracilis muscle. The inferior ischial ramus joins the inferior ramus of the pubis anteriorly and is the strongest of the hip (coxal) bones.

  3. Ischial tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischial_tuberosity

    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.

  4. Sacrotuberous ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrotuberous_ligament

    Its oblique fibres descend laterally, converging to form a thick, narrow band that widens again below and is attached to the medial margin of the ischial tuberosity. It then spreads along the ischial ramus as the falciform process, whose concave edge blends with the fascial sheath of the internal pudendal vessels and pudendal nerve.

  5. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    The ischium is the strongest of the three regions that form the hip bone. It is divisible into three portions: the body, the superior ramus, and the inferior ramus. The body forms approximately one-third of the acetabulum. The ischium forms a large swelling, the tuberosity of the ischium, also referred

  6. Obturator internus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obturator_internus_muscle

    The internal obturator muscle arises from the inner surface of the antero-lateral wall of the pelvis. [1] It surrounds the obturator foramen. [1] [2] It is attached to the inferior pubic ramus and ischium, and at the side to the inner surface of the hip bone below and behind the pelvic brim. [1]

  7. Ischiopubic ramus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischiopubic_ramus

    The ischiopubic ramus is a compound structure consisting of the following two structures: from the pubis, the bones inferior pubic ramus; from the ischium, the inferior ramus of the ischium; It forms the inferior border of the obturator foramen and serves as part of the origin for the obturator internus and externus muscles.

  8. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

    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.

  9. Iliac tuberosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_tuberosity

    The iliac tuberosity is part of the anatomy of the ilium portion of the hip bone. Behind the iliac fossa is a rough surface, divided into two portions, an anterior and a posterior. [ 1 ] The posterior portion, the iliac tuberosity , is elevated and rough, for the attachment of the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and for the origins of the ...
