		Each of the two innominate bones, or hipbones, consists of three parts the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis.
		The bony framework of the lower extremity is built on the same plan as the upper extremity.
		The hipbones unite with the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column to form the pelvic girdle, which supports the legs.

		The ischium is the lowest and strongest portion of the bone; it proceeds downward from the acetabulum, expands into a large tuberosity, and then, curving forward, forms, with the pubis, a large aperture, the obturator foramen.
		At birth, the three primary centers are quite separate, the crest, the bottom of the acetabulum, the ischial tuberosity, and the inferior rami of the ischium and pubis being still cartilaginous.
		Below, it is continuous with the pelvic surfaces of the ischium and pubis, only a faint line indicating the place of union.

		Abnormal results may include pelvic fractures; tumors of the ilium, ischium, or pubis (the bones of the pelvis); and sacroiliitis (inflammation of the sacroiliac area where the sacrum joins the ilium bone).
		Additional conditions under which the test may be performed include ankylosing spondylitis.

	Gray's Anatomy - Articulations of the Pelvis - Yahoo! Reference
		The lower border of the ligament is directly continuous with the tendon of origin of the long head of the Biceps femoris, and by many is believed to be the proximal end of this tendon, cut off by the projection of the tuberosity of the ischium.
		In order to lessen concussion in rapid changes of distribution of the weight, joints (sacroiliac articulations) are interposed between the sacrum and the iliac bones; an accessory joint (pubic symphysis) exists in the middle of the anterior arch.
		It is flat, and triangular in form; narrower in the middle than at the ends; attached by its broad base to the posterior inferior spine of the ilium, to the fourth and fifth transverse tubercles of the sacrum, and to the lower part of the lateral margin of that bone and the coccyx.
