Pelvis

Human pelvis, front view

The bony pelvis consists of 2 hip bones (anterolaterally) & a sacrum & coccyx (posteriorly). The 2 hip bones articulate anteriorly to form the symphysis pubis (secondary cartilaginous joint) and posteriorly with the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint (synovial plane joint).

Females have a wider pelvis than males and a larger Q-angle at the knee. The Q-angle is the angle that the thighbone (femur) makes with the knee.Women appear more "knock kneed" than men because of the Q-angle. This may put more stress on ligaments of the knee, especially when jumping, landing and cutting.
