The Pelvic GirdleThe pelvic girdle is formed from the pair of

hip bones comprised of: The ilium The pubis The ischium

Which join with the sacrum posteriorly and join each other Anteriorly (symphysis pubis)

They form a bassin-like girdle which supports the bladder and abdominal contents

The Lower Limb (continued)Tibia and fibula

From the knee to the ankle, these are the leg bones The fibula is lateral The tibia is medial

Medial Malleolus and Lateral Malleolus

The distal ends of the two bones extend to the medial and lateral sides of the ankle Commonly referred to as the ankle bones
