	Pelvis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pelvis is symmetrical and each side is actually made up of three separate bones — the upper half (the broad "wings") is the ilium; the middle (the top half of the lower "loops") is the pubis, and the bottom (the lower half of the "loops") is the ischium.
		The pelvis is joined to the sacrum bone by ligaments (the sacroiliac joint), and the hip bones nest in specially shaped sockets (the acetabulum) on each side.
		These three bones fuse together with age and are collectively known as the hip bone, ossa coxae or the innominate bone.

	Ilium
		The iliac crest forms the prominence of the hip and is an important bone for use in surgery requiring bone grafting due to its easy access and its large source of available bone for use.
		It is a large, flattened, somewhat cup-shaped bone having a large crest anteriorly and posteriorly with four spines serving as sites for muscle and ligamentous attachments.
		It is also a common site for bone marrow donation in diseases such as leukemia.

		Growth of the Os Coxae (Innominate Bone) The innominate bone is united with its contralateral fellow to form the pelvis, which comprises the ilium, ischium, pubis, and the acetabular bone.
		Growth of the Pelvis Cartilaginous physes unite the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
		Furthermore, the shape, size, and rate of growth and development of the bones of the pelvis, hindlegs, and caudal half of the spine are similar to other medium-large dogs, some of which have a high prevalence of hip dysplasia.

		The ilium is the most anterior of the three bones of the os coxae and it is expanded to form the wings of the ilium.
		Each os coxae consists of 3 fused bones, the ilium - dorsal and anterior, the ischium - posterior and the pubic bone - ventral.
		The medial portions of the wings of the ilium articulate with the sacrum, the fused sacral vertebrae of the vertebral column, at the sacroiliac joint.

		The sides of the sacrum are connected to the ilium (the largest bone of the pelvis) by tissues known as sacroiliac joints (sacro for sacrum; iliac for ilium).

		The sacrum (pronounced say-crum) is a large triangle shaped bone in the lower part of the spine.

		The rectus femoris (one of the quadriceps muscles) and the abdominal muscles attach to a bone called the ilium.
		A quadriceps, or quad, contusion is literally a deep bruise of the muscle(s) of the thigh closest to the femur (thigh) bone.
		The quadriceps muscles are in contact with bone throughout the length of the thigh, and thus, are especially vulnerable.

	Intraosseous Lipoma - MedPix Medical Image Database and Teaching Files
		Intraosseous lipomas typically do not show enhancement with gadolinium although there have been reports of enhancement in parosteal lipoma which showed “mild enhancement of tissue in the region of the pedicle between reactive cortical bone hyperostosis and the lipomatous mass corresponded to fibrous tissue that outlined the hyperostotic reactive bone.”
		Typical locations of intraosseous lipomas include intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions of the femur, the calcaneous, the ilium, the proximal tibia, and the sacrum.
		An intraosseous lipoma is an extremely rare lesion accounting for less than 1 in 1,000 of primary bone tumors.
