    The gluteal region is made up of three bones: the hip bone, sacrum, and proximal femur. The hip bone can be identified by features such as the acetabulum facing anterolaterally, the ischial tuberosity facing posteroinferiorly, and the iliac crest facing superolaterally. The femur can be identified by the head facing superomedially, the greater trochanter facing laterally, the anterior surface being convex and posterior concave, and the femoral condyles facing inferiorly.

    Home | Gross Anatomy | Topic index


    Bones of the Gluteal region:
    The gluteal region comprises dorsal surfaces of three
    bones
    Hip bone
    Sacrum
    Proximal femur

    How Would You Determine The Side Of The Hipbone ?

    Acetabulum faces antero-laterally
    Obturator foramen is antero-inferior
    Pubis faces Anteriorly
    Ischial tuberosity is postero-inferior
    Iliac crest faces supero-lateral
    In the anatomical position, the anterior superior iliac
    spine is in the same plane as the pubic symphysis.

    The Femur
    How Would You Determine The Side Of The Hipbone ?

    Siding the femur:
    The head of the femur faces supero-medial.
    The greater trochanter faces laterally.
    The anterior surface is convex while the
    posterior is concave.
    Femoral condyles are inferior.
