Radiological abnormalities are often seen at the pubic symphysis in rheumatic disorders. In a radiological study of 120 patients with rheumatic diseases osteitis pubis with erosive and sclerotic changes was a feature of ankylosing spondylitis. Irregularity and subluxation were not related to osteitis pubis or diagnostic group but were common in females and had a possible association with previo...

Abstract Background The Phenice method is a reliable qualitative analysis of the pubis and ischium region innominate bone to assess an individual’s sex. Geometric morphometric provides methods quantitative for identification purposes, which may be affected by environmental changes. This study analysed utilising 3D (3 dimensional) CT (computed tomography) scans geometric morphometrics sex estima...

Osteitis pubis is a common form of athletic pubalgia associated with femoroacetabular impingement. Endoscopic pubic symphysectomy was developed as a less invasive option than open surgical curettage for recalcitrant osteitis pubis. This technical note demonstrates the use of the anterior and suprapubic portals in the supine lithotomy position for endoscopic burr resection of pubic symphyseal fi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the magnetic resonance imaging findings from the pubis of professional soccer players without any history or clinical findings of groin pain, and from sedentary individuals, also without symptoms, and to determine the prevalence of changes compatible with pubic overload. METHODS Nineteen professional soccer players without complaints of groin pain and seventeen sedentary ...

This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism of pelvic ring injury for the stability of pelvis using the finite element (FE) method. Complex pelvic fracture (i.e., anterior column with posterior hemitransverse lesion) combined with pelvic ramus fracture was used to evaluate the biomechanics stability of the pelvis. Three FE fracture models (i.e., Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System f...

A joint or articulation articular surface is the connection made between bones in body. They link skeletal system to allow for different degrees and types of movement. Joints are classified both structurally functionally. The short communication aims initiate an innovative classification on basis general morphology as follows:1. Simple (one pair articulating surfaces; male female): e.g. Fibrous...
