Differences between male and female pelvic bones?
The significant differences in the Gross Anatomy of Females that distinguishes them from their male counterparts.These differences result from adaptations to the bone structure of females to accommodate child birth. The pelvic inlet is wider which results a wider and shorter pelvis.In addition the pubic arch ( the angle between the left and right pubic bones) is greater on females (80 to 90 degrees) that males (50 to 60 degrees).The coccyx is also shorter and wider on females than males.N.B. (nota bene)The increase in the horizontal distance between acetabulums (The acetabulum is cavity on the OS coxae that articulates with the femur to form the hip joint) that results from the wider hips in most women, increases a woman's chance of developing knee injuries when pursuing athletic endeavors.This is because the angle of convergence (the formed angle between the right and left femura) at the knees in greater females than males, causes an uneven weight distribution at the knee joint, which causes uneven wear on the meniscus. Resulting an increase in injuries.
