Pelvic Ring
No inherent stability
Ligaments give the pelvis stability

Symphyseal Ligaments
Resist external rotation in double-leg stance
Rami act as struts to resist compressive and
internal rotation in single leg stance Sectioning causes little pelvic instability

Ghanayem, J Trauma 1995
Abdominal wall contributes to pelvic
stability (laparotomy increased pelvic
displacement in cadaveric model)

Deformity of Pelvis
Defined from an anatomically positioned
pelvis in space
Deformity a combination of rotational &translational deformities

Deformity of Pelvis (cont.)
Does not deform around a single point but
can be represented as a vector from a
normally positioned pelvis
Acute deformity difficult to measure but
direction often able to be determined
