  Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pubic bone is the ventral and anterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis.
In the female, the pubic bone is anterior to the urethral sponge.
The upper border presents a prominent tubercle, the pubic tubercle (pubic spine), which projects forward; the inferior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring (external abdominal ring), and the inguinal ligament (Poupart’s ligament) are attached to it.

The pubic symphysis is considered to be the most stable joint in the pelvis, and moves in reaction to forces placed across the joint, rather than by direct muscle action.
Inferiorly, adductor longus originates from a flat tendon attaching to the pubic body, gracilis and adductor brevis originate from the inferior pubic body and inferior pubic ramus, and adductor magnus from the inferior pubic and ischeal ramus plus the ischeal tuberosity.

Utility of dorsal pits and pubic tubercle height in parity assessment.
In this study, the relationships of dorsal pits and pubic tubercle elongation to parity are investigated in a sample of 148 modern female sets of pubic bones with associated birth information.
The elongation of the pubic tubercle shows no significant correlation with number of births, but instead is associated with the distance this feature is from the pubic symphysis (p < 0.01) and the size of the arcuate angle (p < 0.05).

On examination, he was tender to palpation over the pubic symphysis and along the origin of the adductor muscles from the inferior pubic ramus.
Radiographs of the pelvis were essentially normal, with the exception of a slight asymmetry of the pubic symphysis.
Typically, maximal tenderness at the pubic tubercle on the involved side is a reliable sign to diagnose sports hernia, although other potential areas of tenderness include the posterior or lateral inguinal canal.

Such obstetric factors as parity status, number of births, age at first and last births and birth spacing have been examined in relation to the presence or absence of the preauricular sulcus, its type and size, pubic pitting, sacral scarring and the extension of the pubic tubercle.
The results suggest that the preauricular sulcus and sacral scarring are independent of obstetric events and that although the small numbers of females with more than one pubic pit or an extended pubic tubercle had born children, the absence of these features is associated with both parous and nulliparous females.
Unlike previous studies, both localised cortical resorption and tubercle extension were evaluated as a component part of the obstetric pelvis.
