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 woman's pelvis develops further and more outwardly than that of the man. The male pelvis, on the other hand, is steeper, stronger and narrower. The Promontorium is also more pronounced. The biggest difference is the pubic angle. In women it is on average between 90 - 100° and in men always below 90° (approx. 70°). In men it is called Angulus subpubicus, in women it is called Arcus pubis. Differences can also be found in the sacrum, for example in men it is evenly curved and in women from the 3rd and 4th vertebrae it is bent.
