The ilium is craniodorsal and extends obliquely forward from the hip to articulate with the sacrum. The cranial wing varies between species. Dorsally, it forms the '''sacral tuber''', which is more prominent in larger animals than in dogs and cats. Ventrally, it forms the '''tuber coxae''', or the point of the hip. The margin of the wing is known as the '''iliac crest''' and the body is deeply excavated for attachment of the gluteus medius.

BACK TO MUSCULOSKELETAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Pelvic Girdle

  • Two symmetrical halves: hip bones (ossa cosarum) meet at pelvic symphysis ventrally and articulate with sacrum dorsally
  • Hip Bones:
    • Three bones develop from separate ossifications within a single cartilage plate
    • Ilium: craniodorsal, extends obliquely forward from hip to articulate with sacrum
      • Cranial wing varies between species
      • Dorsally, forms sacral tuber more prominent in large animals than dogs and cats
      • Ventrally, forms tuber coxae, or the point of the hip
      • Margin of the wing is known as the iliac crest
      • Body is deeply excavated for attachment of the gluteus medius
      • Greater Sciatic Notch on dorsal border of the wing is cut away at its junction with the shaft to allow the sciatic nerve passage en route to the hind limb
    • Pubis: extends medially from the joint to form cranial pelvic floor
      • L-shaped to give two branches: cranial (acetabular) and caudal (symphysial)
    • Ischium: caudal, forms most of pelvic floor
      • Ischial tuberosity is formed by the caudolateral corner of the horizontal plate of the ischium
    • The Pelvic Symphysis comprises both pubis and ischium
    • The Acetabulum"" provides the socket to the joint of the hip, and is comprised of all three bones of the pelvis
  • Species differences:
    • Larger species have a more vertical ilium, bringing the sacroiliac joint (and with it the weight of the trunk) closer to the hip
    • Smaller species have an oblique ilium
