  2. Iliac crest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_crest

    A fracture of the left iliac wing. The iliac crest has a large amount of red bone marrow, and thus it is the site of bone marrow harvests (from both sides) to collect the stem cells used in bone marrow transplantation. The iliac crest is also considered the best donor site for bone grafting when a large quantity of bone is needed. For example ...

  3. Wing of ilium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_of_ilium

    It is thinner at the center than at the extremities, and ends in the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines. The surface of the crest is broad, and divided into external and internal lips, and an intermediate line. About 5 cm behind the anterior superior iliac spine there is a prominent tubercle on the outer lip.

  4. Iliac fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_fossa

    The iliac fossa is bounded above by the iliac crest, and below by the arcuate line. It is bordered in front and behind by the anterior and posterior borders of the ilium. The iliac fossa gives origin to the iliacus muscle. [1] The obturator nerve passes around the iliac fossa. [2] It is perforated at its inner part by a nutrient canal.

  5. Ilium (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilium_(bone)

  6. Anterior superior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_superior_iliac_spine

    The severity of symptoms of damage to the iliohypogastric nerve can show whether damage occurred above or below the anterior superior iliac spine. [6] Bone may be harvested from the nearby iliac crest for use elsewhere in the body. [5] As the subcostal nerve lies close to the anterior superior iliac spine, this is put at risk of damage. [5]

  7. Iliac tubercle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_tubercle

    The iliac tubercle is located approximately 5 cm (2 in) posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine on the iliac crest in humans. [1] The transverse plane that includes each of the tubercles (one from the left iliac tubercle and one from the right iliac tubercle) is called the transtubercular plane.

  8. Gluteal lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_lines

    The anterior gluteal line is the middle curved gluteal line on the hip bone. It is the longest of the three gluteal lines, begins at the iliac crest, about 4 cm. behind its anterior extremity, and, taking a curved direction downward and backward, ends at the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.

  9. Iliac fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_fascia

    The iliac fascia (or Abernethy's fascia [citation needed]) is the fascia overlying the iliacus muscle. [1]Superiorly and laterally, the iliac fascia is attached to the inner aspect of the iliac crest; inferiorly and laterally, it extends into the thigh to unite with the femoral sheath; medially, it attaches to the periosteum of the ilium and iliopubic eminence near the linea terminalis, and ...
