		It is a hammock-like muscle, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone) forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs.
		Sacrum is a large, triangular bone at the base of the vertebral column and at the upper and back part of the pelvic cavity, where it is inserted like a wedge between the two hip bones.
		The head of femur is connected with the hip bone by the ligament of head of femur which connects the pit on the head and the margins of the acetabular notch.

	Bone Marrow Biopsy Test - What Is It and How To Prepare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A bone marrow aspiration is usually taken from the pelvic bone (ilium).
		Bone marrow can also be taken from the front of the pelvic bone (near the groin) or the sternum (the center bone in the chest).
		Once inside the bone, the center portion of the needle is removed and a syringe is attached to the end of the needle and the marrow (which is liquid) is withdrawn.

	Bone Marrow Test
		In adults, the sample is usually taken from the pelvic bone and in infants and small children from the tibia bone below the knee.
		Bone marrow aspirate uses a syringe with the bone marrow needle and suctions a very small amount of liquid mixed with blood.
		Bone marrow biopsy takes a sample of the pelvic bone itself, using a Jamshidi bone marrow needle.

	Bone graft for spine fusion
		Bone graft for spinal fusion surgeries may either be harvested from the patient (autologous bone) or from a cadaver (allograft bone).
		Autologous bone is harvested from the patient's pelvic bone (iliac crest) and provides the spinal fusion with a calcium scaffolding for the new bone to grow on (conduction).
		In the lumbar spine, allograft bone is restricted for use in ALIF or PLIF procedures in which bone graft is placed in compression (the compression aids the healing process for the bone).

	Pelvis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pelvis is formed of three bones: the ilium, ischium and pubis.
		These three bones fuse together with age and are collectively known as the os coxae, or the innominate bone.
		The upper edge of the ilium is known as the iliac crest.

		At the conclusion of pelvic surgery, the muscles of the abdomen are sewn back together; sometimes the stitches pull through and the edges of the muscle separate, leaving a hole through which fat and intestines can protrude into a pocket under the skin.
		When we speak here of abdominal pressure we are considering the pelvic cavity (within the bounds of the sacrum, the pelvis and the muscular pelvic floor) to be a part of the abdominal cavity.
		Based upon the number of injuries to the pelvic floor that we would expect from childbirth, and the number of hysterectomies performed, it may be that a large percentage of women remain symptomatic without receiving the benefit of surgery that would relieve their symptoms.

		Bone marrow transplantation has been used to treat blood diseases such as leukemia and disorders of the immune system for over 25 years.
		Marrow is removed from the upper area of the donor’s pelvic bone while the donor is under general or regional anesthesia.

	Medical Encyclopedia: Bone marrow culture (Print Version)
		Bone marrow culture is a laboratory test performed on a bone marrow specimen to isolate and identify organisms that cause infection.
		A sample of bone marrow is placed on culture media in containers to grow microorganisms such as bacteria, fungus, or viruses in the laboratory.
		The skin over the bone is numbed with an anesthetic (a bee-sting sensation), then a larger needle is inserted through the skin into the bone and pushed into the cavity of the bone that contains the marrow.

	pelvic fracture surgery
		Bone instability, or bony mobility, occurs after fracture when muscle spasms or other deforming forces are applied to the fracture fragments.
		Pelvic external fixation consists of pins usually inserted into the iliac bones and then connected together by clamps and bars.
		During the pelvic surgery, the bone fragments are realigned using a variety of techniques.

	Hip Fracture - Children's Hospital Boston
		The hip bone, which is contained in the lower part of the trunk of the body or the pelvis, is comprised of three separate bones: the illium (upper part), ischium (lower part) and the pubis (the central bone that unites with the ischium at either side.
		Fractures (a partial or complete break in the bone) can occur in any of these areas, near the top of the thighbone (femur) where it angles into the hip socket, or in the cup-shaped depression of the hipbone, called the acetabulum, which is the socket in which the thighbone rotates.
		Fractures that are stable, in which the bone is not at all displaced from its normal position, may be managed solely by a period of casting.

	Bone Extenders in Stabilization Procedures
		Bone from donors (allograft) and from animals (xenograft) is much less effective.
		Actually, in many of the cases where fusion is done without decompression it turns out to be a bad experience for the patient because the most common reason for spine surgery failure is the fiasco of not identifying or addressing nerve compression due to lateral spinal stenosis.
		When adequate decompression is performed the local bone removed (dorsal process, lamina, facet joint, etc.), typically discarded in the past, can readily be processed and used for effective autograft by the surgeon.

		The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that supports the pelvic organs (bladder, rectum, and uterus).
		The pelvic floor spans the area between the sides of the pelvic bone.
		When your pelvic floor muscles are weak, your system of pelvic organs will not work the way they were intended due to lack of sufficient support.

		Pelvic fractures are classified as stable or unstable, and as open or closed.
		A stable fracture is one in which the pelvis remains stable and involves one break-point in the pelvic ring with minimal hemorrhage.
		A pelvic fracture is typically diagnosed by an emergency physician looking for bone tenderness, limitations of movement, difficulty walking, and any loss of nerve function in the lower part of the body.

		These electrodes are placed on the perineum (area between the vagina and rectum in woman /testicles and rectum in men) and/or sacrum (a triangular bone at the base of the spine) and a measuring instrument indicates whether you are able to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles.
		Kegel-like exercises for the pelvic floor muscles are also used but with the emphasis on control and relaxation rather than strengthening.

	Osteoprogenitor Cells from Bone Marrow to Augment Spinal Fusions
		The autograft (patient's bone) consists of mineralized tissue, which provides an osteoconductive (forms a scaffold for new bone) and osteoinductive (induces formation of new bone) matrix as well as a bone marrow component replete with osteogenic (bone formation) precursor cells.
		The effectiveness of any bone graft depends on its inherent characteristics and cellular constituents, particularly the subset of stem cells that are capable of growing new bone.
		The osteoprogenitor cells are harvested by first aspirating bone marrow from the iliac crest with a standard bone biopsy needle.

	Pain Management: Pelvic Pain
		Although pelvic pain often refers to pain in the region of women's internal reproductive organs, pelvic pain can be present in either sex and can stem from multiple causes.
		Pelvic pain may be a symptom of infection or may arise from pain in the pelvic bone or in non-reproductive internal organs.
		In women, however, pelvic pain can very well be an indication that there may be a problem with one of the reproductive organs in the pelvic area (uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, or vagina).

		Radiating that bone would then leave Kevin with a 5-year-old sized pelvic bone for the rest of his life, as radiation retards bone growth.
		The surgeon was able to remove enough of the pelvic bone to remove the cancer, but also leave enough of the bone there to attach a bone graft and allow Kevin a more “normal” life.
		A need to have a lift designed became apparent, as the growth of the right pelvic bone was far outstripped by growth on the left side, particularly after Kevin’s chemotherapy protocol had been completed.
