4. Q.2) DESCRIBE FEMALE PELVIS (Marks:-5/8)
Covered topics in this ques
• Structure
• Figure
• Parts
• Joints
• Landmarks
• Diameters
• Ligaments

5. Structure:-
• The female pelvis is structurally adapted for child bearing and
delivery.
• There are four pelvic bones :-
- innominate or hip bones (2)
- Sacrum (1)
- Coccyx (1)

6. Innominate bones
- There are TWO innominate bones, Right and Left innominate
bone :-

7. Each innominate bone is composed of three parts.
1. The ilium the large flared out part :-
2. The ischium the thick lower part :-
It has a large prominance known as the ischial tuberosity
on which the body rests when sitting. Behind and a little above the
tuberosity is an inward projection, the ischial spine. In labour the station
of the fetal head is estimated in relation to ischial spines.
3. The pubis :- The pubic bone forms the anterior part. The
space enclosed by the body of the pubic bone the rami and the ischium
is called the obturator foramen.

8. The sacrum
- Awedge shaped bone consisting of five fused vertebrae.
* The upper border of the first sacral vertebra is known
as the sacral promontary.
* The anterior surface of the 7 sacrum is concave and is
referred to as the hallow of the sacrum.

9. The coccyx
 The coccyx is avestigial tail.
 It consists of four fused vertebrae forming a small triangular bone.

10. JOINTS
• There are four pelvic joints –
- One Symphysis pubis
- Two Sacro illiac joint
- One Sacro coccygeal joint
- The symphysis pubis is a cartilgeous joint formed by junction
of the two pubic bones along the midline. ƒ
- The sacro iliac joints are the strongest joints in the body.
- The sacro coccygeal joint is formed where the base of the
coccyx articulates with the tip of the sacrum.
In non pregnant state there is very little movement in these joints but
during pregnancy endocrine activity causes the ligaments to soften which
allows the joints to give & provide more room for the fetal head as it passes
through the pelvis.

12. Pelvic ligaments
 Each of the pelvic joints is held together by ligaments
- Interpubic ligaments at the symphysis pubis (1)
- Sacro iliac ligaments (2)
- Sacro coccygeal ligaments (1)
- Sacro tuberous ligament (2)
- Sacro spinous ligament (2)
