Understanding Ischioiliac Injuries and Conditions

Ischioiliac is a term that refers to the iliac bone, which is a large bone in the pelvis that forms part of the hip girdle. The ischioiliac joint is the joint formed by the union of the iliac bones with the sacrum and the pubic bones. This joint provides stability and support for the spine and helps to transmit forces from the legs to the rest of the body.

Ischioiliac can be used to describe a variety of conditions or injuries that affect this joint, such as:

* Ischioiliac ligament sprain: This is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments that connect the iliac bones to the sacrum and pubic bones are stretched or torn.
* Ischioiliac fracture: This is a break in one of the bones that make up the ischioiliac joint.
* Ischioiliac strain: This is a less severe injury that occurs when the muscles and tendons around the ischioiliac joint are stretched or torn.

Ischioiliac can also be used to describe a type of surgery that involves the ischioiliac joint, such as an ischioiliac fusion, which is a procedure where the bones of the pelvis are fused together to provide stability and support for the spine.
