	Pubic symphysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pubic symphysis (or Symphysis pubis) is the midline cartilaginous joint uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones (pubis).
		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.
		By examining the wear of the pubic symphysis, it is possible to estimate the age of the person at death.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Pelvis
		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 position of the pelvis in the erect posture may be indicated by holding it so that the anterior superior iliac spines and the front of the top of the symphysis pubis are in the same vertical plane.

	Osteitis pubis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Osteitis pubis, first described in 1924, is characterised by inflammation of the pubic symphysis, which is the joint at the front of the pelvis between the two ends of the pubic bone.
		Surgical intervention, such as wedge resection of the pubis symphysis, is sometimes attempted in severe cases, but its success rate is not high, and surgery may lead to later pelvic problems.
		The Australian Football League has taken some steps to reduce the incidence of osteitis pubis, in particular recommending that clubs restrict the amount of body building which young players are required to carry out, and in general reducing the physical demands on players before their bodies mature.

		The antero-posterior diameter extends from the tip of the coccyx to the lower part of the pubic symphysis; its measurement is from 90 to 115 mm.

		Clinical Features Osteitis pubis (or pubic symphysitis) is believed to be a selflimiting disease of the symphysis pubis, marked by erosion of either one or both of the joint margins, followed by a process of healing.
		While adductor pull on the symphysis was being considered, Williams (in the UK) was examining the role of limitation of hip joint movement as a factor in osteitis pubis in athletes.
		In consideration of normal joint mobility of the symphysis, Walheim and coworkers examined movement of the intact symphysis under traction in cadavers and in volunteers, who were studied at rest in supine position, whilst standing on one leg and whilst walking.

		In each patient a primary puncture was made 14 cm cranial to the symphysis pubis, with a 5 mm trocar through which a 5 mm laparoscope was introduced in order to monitor the introduction of the secondary trocar.
		In addition trans-illumination techniques were employed to assess the location of the inferior epigastric, superficial epigastric and superficial circumflex arteries, as well as the lateral margins of the rectus muscle, in relation to the symphysis pubis, the umbilicus and the abdominal mid-line.
		The placement of lateral trocars at a distance of 3 cm above the symphysis pubis further increases risk of vascular injury as the distance between the more laterally located superficial circumflex artery and the inferior and superficial epigastric vessels is often less than 2 cm.

		Chronic damage related to excessive strain at the origin of the gracilis, adductor longus, and adductor brevis muscles seen in athletes also will cause osteitis pubis, but this entity is often referred to as the gracilis syndrome, os pubis syndrome or posttraumatic osteonecrosis of the pubis.
		Initially, the margins of the symphysis appear hazy due to diffuse demineralization of the subchondral bone from hyperemia.
