	pubic symphysis
		The pubic symphysis is the midline cartilaginous joint uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones (pubis).
		In females, the pubic symphysis is intimately close to the clitoris.
		The symphysis pubis may actually separate during the birthing process in some women: this is painful but rare, with reported rates of occurrence ranging from one in 600 to one in 3400 births.

	II. Osteology. 6c. 2. The Pelvis. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The pelvis is divided by an oblique plane passing through the prominence of the sacrum, the arcuate and pectineal lines, and the upper margin of the symphysis pubis, into the greater and the lesser pelvis.
		When the ligaments are in situ, the inferior aperture of the pelvis is lozenge-shaped, bounded, in front, by the pubic arcuate ligament and the inferior rami of the pubes and ischia; laterally, by the ischial tuberosities; and behind, by the sacrotuberous ligaments and the tip of the coccyx.
		The pubic symphysis is less deep, and the pubic arch is wider and more rounded than in the male, where it is an angle rather than an arch.

	The rat's pubic symphysis
		This loosening of the pubic symphysis allows the separation of the pelvic bones, and hence widens the birth canal and provides an easier passage of the infant during birth.
		By eight weeks of age, the pelvis and pubic symphysis have reached the adult condition: the pubic symphysis is a narrow band of cartilage 1.5 to 2 mm wide between ossified pelvic bones (Ruth 1935).
		In aging male and female rats, the cartilage of the pubic symphysis degenerates and is gradually replaced by bone.

		Both the pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joints are held together by strong fibrous and ligamentous attachments.
		The pubic symphysis is also strengthened by the pubic arcuate ligament and superior pubic ligament.

		The present study was conducted to establish the temporal pattern of leukocyte infiltration in the pubic symphysis along gestation, parturition and postpartum, and to investigate multiple correlations of this leukocyte infiltration with collagen remodeling, pubic separation and hormonal steroid levels.
		In intrapartum animals, the pubic bones were separated and the connective tissue of the symphyseal ligament showed a marked hyperplasia, which corresponds with fragmentary and irregularly separated collagenous fibers with a marked loss of birefringence (Figure 2C,2D).
		The pubic relaxation is temporarily associated with a marked reduction in the intensity of birefringence, reflecting a widespread reduction in density and orientation of collagen fiber bundles, together with an increase in interpubic length.

		The anteroposterior (or true) conjugate diameter extends from the upper margin of the pubic symphysis to the middle of the sacral promontory.
		Inability to palpate the sacral promontory suggests that the conjugate diameter of the inlet is adequate for parturition, whereas palpation indicates a contracted pelvis.
		31-6 The pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint in which the articular surfaces, covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage, are united by the interpubic disc, which consists of fibrocartilage and may contain a cavity.

		Within the fibrocartilaginous pubic symphysis and cervix, relaxin plays an important role during parturition by mediating the remodeling necessary for the successful delivery and survival of pups [14,15].
		These changes in the characteristics of the pubic symphysis result from a decrease in collagen content caused by relaxin, which in some species is potentiated by the prior or concurrent administration of estrogen [12,13,18].
		Changes in collagen concentrations in the pubic symphysis after ovariectomies with or without administration of various hormones were very similar to those reported previously [12], validating the use of this tissue as an appropriate positive control for our studies.

	Pubic Pain
		The Pubic Symphysis and the Sacro-Iliac joints (in the back of the pelvis) are especially important during pregnancy, as their flexibility allows the bones to move freely and to expand to help a baby fit through more easily during birth.
		The pubic area is generally very tender to the touch; many moms find it painful when the doctor or midwife pushes down on the pubic bone while measuring the uterus (fundal height).
		Among other things, she mentioned the problem of 'pubic shear', where a misalignment of the pelvis causes one side to be higher than the other, resulting in tension and discomfort in the pubic symphysis joint area.

		Osteitis pubis, a painful condition involving the pubic symphysis and surrounding tendinous attachments, was first described in 1924 by Beer, a urologist, who reported on a patient who had undergone suprapubic surgery (1).
		Musculoskeletal examination revealed pain in the pubic symphysis area with lateral compression over the iliac wing while the patient was in the lateral decubitus position.
		He was exquisitely tender to palpation over the pubic symphysis as well as the tendinous origins of the adductor muscles bilaterally.

		The pubic symphysis provides forward and backward motion of the pelvic bones when we walk.
		When the pubic symphysis becomes locked, the corresponding muscles no longer track with the moving leg, which makes the muscles more susceptible to injury.
		Swanson believes that restoring normal motion to the pubic symphysis through the Gaitlink process may decrease the occurrence of hamstring and groin injuries.
