Summary
The bony pelvis consists of four bones (two iliac (innominate) hip bones, sacrum and coccyx), and four joints in the articulated pelvis (i.e., two sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis and sacrococcygeal joint. Both the anterior superior iliac spines and the upper end of the pubic symphysis lie in the same coronal plane, and the tip of coccyx corresponds with the upper margin of the pubic symphysis. The pelvic surface of the body of pubis is directed more upwards than backwards, and the pelvic surface of the sacrococcygeal curve faces more downwards than forwards.
