Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The bony pelvis forms the static basis of the pelvis. It consists of a small and a large pelvis. The small pelvis forms the birth canal in women. The female pelvis develops further and more outwardly than the male pelvis. The male pelvis on the other hand is steeper, stronger and narrower. The promontorium is also more pronounced. The greatest difference is the angle of the pubic bone. In women it is on average between 90 - 100° and in men always below 90° (approx. 70°). In men one speaks of the angulus subpubicus, in women of the arcus pubis. Differences can also be found in the sacrum, which is evenly curved in men and bent in women from the 3rd and 4th vertebrae.
