  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Ischial bursitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischial_bursitis

    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]

  5. 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.

  6. Pressure ulcer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_ulcer

    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).

  7. 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

  8. Inferior gluteal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_gluteal_nerve

    There is a relationship between the common stalk of the inferior gluteal nerve and external anatomic landmarks. The targeted region should be aimed inferior to the most prominent aspect of the greater trochanter, and medial to the landmark of the ischial tuberosity, at the depth of the posterior border of the proximal femur. Triangulating using ...

  9. Gluteus maximus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_maximus

    Three bursae are usually found in relation with the deep surface of this muscle: One of these, of large size, separates it from the greater trochanter ( Bursa trochanterica m. glutaei maximi ), a second (often missing) is situated on the tuberosity of the ischium ( Bursae glutaeofemorales ),
