The lower portion of the appendicular skeleton consists of the pelvic girdle and the lower extremities.

Page 2: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

According to your text, the term “pelvic girdle” refers only to the left and right ossa coxae (each of which is composed of the ilium, ischium, and pubis). However, some texts also include the sacrum.

Ilium

Iliac crest

Acetabulum

Page 3: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The pelvis consists of the two ossa coxae (singular = os coxae), the sacrum, and the coccyx.

Page 4: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The pelvic girdle protects and supports several abdominal organs

Page 5: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Each os coxae consist of three bones fused together

Acetabulum

Page 6: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Each os coxae (hip bone) consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These three bones fuse between 13-15 years of age.

Acetabulum

Page 7: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The ilium is the largest and uppermost of the pelvic bones

Page 8: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The auricular surface is the portion of the ilium that articulates with the sacrum

Page 9: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The iliac crest terminates anteriorly at the anterior superior iliac spine.

The ischium is the posterior-inferior component of the os coxae. It is the portion of the pelvis we sit on.

Page 17: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Note the ischial tuberosity of the ischium on which we sit.

The false pelvis (shown in green) is the upper portion of the pelvic basin and is enclosed by the wing-like sides of the flared iliac bones.

Page 24: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The true pelvis (shown in pink) is the lower portion of the pelvic basin and it encloses the pelvic cavity and forms a deep narrower region that contains the pelvic organs.

Page 25: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

During birth (parturition) the fetus passes through the true pelvis during a normal vaginal delivery

Page 26: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Pelvimetry is the measurement of the size/shape of the pelvic outlet

The squatting position can increase the diameter of the true pelvis

Page 32: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

• In our society we are not used to squatting, and it can be a difficult position to assume.

• You can practice!

Page 35: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

During pregnancy there is a special hormone called relaxin that is released by the corpus luteum of the ovary

Page 36: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Relaxin loosens the symphysis pubis and the sacroiliac joint to increase the diameter of the true pelvis and pelvic outlet to facilitate parturition.

Page 37: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Male

Female

Note the female pelvis has wider flair of iliac crests, has a more spherical true pelvis, and the pubic arch is wider than the male

The femur is the only bone of the thigh. However, we will also discuss the patella. The femur is the strongest bone in the body.

It is a useful study technique to compare and contrast the bones of the lower extremity with their counterparts in the upper extremity.

Page 41: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The proximal rounded head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the os coxae. Below the head is a constricted neck that is a common site for fractures of the femur in elderly persons.

Page 42: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

A tiny ligament connects the acetabulum to the fovea in the proximal head of the femur

Page 43: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

shaft

The constricted neck joins the shaft of the femur..

Page 44: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The shaft of the femur has a slight medial bow to bring the knee joints more in line with the body’s plane of gravity. This degree of convergence is more pronounced in females.

Page 45: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Because of a female’s wider hips the medial bow of the femur is more noticeable and the knees are in closer proximity to each other.

Page 46: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

It is technically incorrect to say that an elderly person, usually a female, has broken her “hip”. It is more accurate to state that they broke the neck of their femur.

Page 47: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The greater trochanter, which develops because of pulling stress on the periosteum, is found on the proximal lateral portion of the femur.

Page 48: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Features of the femur

Page 49: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The patella is a sesamoid bone positioned on the anterior surface of the femur. It does NOT articulate with the tibia.

The lower leg, or crural region, contains two bones: the tibia, which is a weight-bearing bone, and the fibula, which not a weight-bearing bone but is important for muscle attachment.

posterioranterior

Page 54: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Interosseous membrane

Page 55: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The tibia is the larger and more medial of the two bones of the crural region. At its proximal end the tibia articulates with the femur. At its distal end the tibia articulates with the talus.

Page 56: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The intercondylar eminence of the tibia is just a small stabilizing bump in the center of the tibial plateau.

The medial and lateral condyles of the tibia articulate with the medial and lateral condyles of the distal femur.

Anterior Posterior

Anterior view

The fibula and the tibia at their proximal ends form the superior tibiofibular joint

Page 58: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The tibial tuberosity of the tibia is the distal attachment site of the patellar ligament.

Page 59: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

About one finger’s width below the tibial tuberosity, and just medial, is a flat surface on the anterior proximal portion of the tibia where interosseous infusions of life-saving fluids can be administered by punching a large needle through the bone into the medullary cavity. This is easiest in children under five years of age.

Interosseous infusion

Page 62: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Interosseous infusion of life-saving fluid works best in children under five years of age. Unlike veins, which may collapse when blood pressure falls, the medullary cavity of the tibia ALWAYS stays open.

Page 63: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The anterior crest of the tibia can be easily palpated. The medial malleolus is at the distal end of the tibia and forms a medial knob that is also easily palpated. It is erroneously referred to as an ankle bone.

for interosseous (I.O.) infusion of life-saving fluids

So both the proximal AND distal ends of the tibia can be used for I.O. infusions.

Page 66: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The inferior portions of the tibia and fibula articulate to form the inferior tibiofibular joint

Page 67: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The fibula does not articulate with the femur but it does with the talus. The distal end of the fibula forms the lateral malleolus, which is easily palpated on the lateral side of the ankle. It is erroneously referred to as an ankle bone.

Page 68: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs
Page 69: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

There are seven tarsal bones that contribute to the ankle. We will only discuss two of these. The talus is the most superior of the tarsal bones and it articulates with the malleoli of the tibia and fibula. The calcaneus forms the prominence of the heel.

Page 70: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The calcaneus forms the prominence of the heel. It also serves as an attachment site for large calf muscles.

Page 71: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The foot contains five metatarsal bones, with #1 leading to the great toe. All of the toes (digits) contain three bones, except for the great toe (digit #1), that only contains two. These bones in the toes are called phalanges.

Page 72: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

There are three arches that support the weight of the body and provide leverage when walking: transverse arch, medial longitudinal arch, and lateral longitudinal arch.

Page 73: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The ligamentous medial and lateral longitudinal arches and the transverse arch of the foot are maintained primarily by the foot bones themselves.

Page 74: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Talipes or clubfoot is a congenital malformation in which the sole of the foot is twisted medially. Read about other foot pathologies in the clinical view in the text.

Fracture of the pelvis in a child caused by blunt trauma. Open or closed fractures of the pelvis are associated with the risk of life-threatening blood loss.

Page 77: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Indirect forces can fracture the pelvis

Page 78: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Closed fractures of the pelvis may occur in elderly persons who suffer from osteoporosis.

Page 79: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Since it is a complete circle, stress to the pelvis usually results in fractures in two places when stress is applied.

Page 80: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Fractures of the pelvis can be associated with life-threatening blood loss.

Umbilicus Bleeding into tissues

Page 81: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Rapidly restoration of normal anatomy to control pelvic fracture bleeding is essential.

Page 82: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

What many persons refer to as a “hip fracture” is actually a fracture of the neck of the femur.

Page 83: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Fractures of the neck of the femur most commonly occur in elderly post-menopausal females with osteoporosis.

Page 84: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Risk-taking young adults can also fracture the neck of the femur in traumatic accidents.

Page 93: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

Since severe trauma is needed to fracture the massive femur in young adults, such fractures are often open.

Femoral shaft fractures are of special concern because the large elastic muscles which span the femur can pull jagged ends of the fractured bone through the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves causing on-going damage after the original fracture!

Page 97: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

A Hare Traction Splint can stop this on-going trauma by pulling on the leg.

Page 98: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The Hare Traction Splint can be removed in the Operating Room after the femoral fracture is repaired with a metal plate and screws. These plates and screws can be left in place for the patient’s lifetime, or removed after about a year.

A former student of mine, who was playing as a baseman in a coed softball game behind the HYPER building while wearing cleats, suffered a similar tibia/ fibula fracture.

Page 106: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The tibial nail or rod was inserted into his medullary cavity just below his tibial tuberosity so it extended through the fracture site and was screwed in place.

Page 107: 07 Appendicular Skeleton   Pelvic Girdle And Lower Limbs

The nail or rod was inserted into the tibial medullary cavity through a hole drilled just below the tibial tuberosity.

View of the healed tibia and fibula of the male softball player mentioned earlier who sustained a tibia/fibula fracture behind the HYPER building. This is one year after the injury. He opted to have the rod (nail) removed the next week. The rod is removed by screwing a device into the proximal end of the rod and they using a slap hammer to pull it out. It is essential that all the screws are removed before the hammering begins!
