secondary cartilaginous
joint called pubic
symphysis.

 symphysial
b) 1 border- pubic crest
 Anterior surface: It faces downwards and
forwards .
 Posterior surface: It forms the anterior
wall of true pelvis.
 Symphysial surface: It is rough , oval and
elongated surface which articulates with
symphysial surface of the opposite pubis.
It is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage
.
 Pubic crest: It is the rounded free, upper
border of pubis.
 Pubic tubercle: It is a rounded tubercle at
the lateral end of the pubic crest. It is
crossed by spermatic cord in males and
round ligament of uterus in females
 It passes laterally and backwards from the
upper and lateral part of the body and lies
above the obturator foramen.
 It possesses:
3 BORDERS OBTURATOR
CREST
PECTINEAL
LINE
INFERIOR
3 SURFACES PECTINEAL PELVIC OBTURATOR
 Border:
1. Obturator crest: it is rounded margin which
begins from the anterior part of pubic tuberce
and passes laterally to the anterior part of
acetabular cavity.
 It separetes the pectineal from the obturator
surface.
2. Pectineal line: It is sharp border which begins
from the posterior part of pubic tubercle and
passes laterally and backwards to become
continuous with the arcuate line.
 It separates the pectineal line from the pelvic
surface.
3. Inferior border: it is sharp border and forms
upper boundary of obturator foramen.
 Surfaces:
1. Pectineal surface: It
faces anteriorly and
slightly upwards and
lies between
obturator crest and
pectineal line.
2. Pelvic surface: It is a
smooth surface
facing upwards and
backwards and lies
between pectineal
line and inferior
border.
3. Obturator surface: It
faces downwards and

 It is also called acetabular
cavity.
 It is deep cup- shaped hollow
in the hip bone which faces

 It articulates with the head of
femur.
 All 3 parts of the bone
contribute in its formation.

anterior 1/5th of acetabulum.
 Ischium forms posterior and
lower 2/5th of acetabulum
 Ilium contributes to the rest
of its extent
 It is covered everywhere with
articular cartilage except in
the acetabular fossa.
1. Acetabular notch: It is a gap in the margin of
the cavity inferiorly.
 Two ends of the notch give attachment to
transverse acetabular ligament which bridges
the gap.
2. Acetabular fossa: It is rough, non-articular
floor of the cavity.
 It is covered by a pad of fat.
3. Lunate surface: It is a horse shoe-shaped
articular surface at the sides of the cavity.
 It articulates with the head of femur.
 It is a large opening in the
bone between pubis and
ischium below and
acetabulum in front.
 Boundaries:
i. Above and in front by
superior ramus and body
of pubis,
ii. Below and medially by
ischio-pubic ramus
iii. Behind by body of ischium
and
iv. Above by inferior margin
of acetabulum.
v. It is large and oval in
males, small and triangular
in females.
