The sacrum is located between the last [[Special:MyLanguage/Lendenwirbelsäule|lumbar vertebrae]] and the first coccyx vertebrae. It originally consists of five separate sacral vertebrae (Vertebrae sacrales, S1-S5). These and the intervertebral discs (discus intervertebrales) between them fuse together after birth to form the immobile part of the spinal column. The sacrum has a triangular shape.

'''The sacrum (Os sacrum)''' is a triangular bone and originally consists of '''five independent sacral vertebrae''' (<i>Vertebrae sacrales</i>, S1-S5).
+
The ventral side of the sacrum is characterized by a concave, smooth surface with a hollow (Facies pelvica). This side is oriented towards the pelvis. Four transverse struts are visible. Above these struts horizontal lines (Lineae transversae) are to be seen. These show the area where the individual vertebrae have grown together. At the same level as these lines, four paired openings in the bone can be seen, the Foramina sacralia anteriora.<br>

It was formed by the fusion of the five cross vertebrae and the intermediate intervertebral discs (<i>Discus intervertebrales</i>). It belongs to the immobile part of the[[Special:MyLanguage/Wirbelsäule|spine]]. The sacrum has a forward concave surface (<i>Facies pelvina</i>), the dorsal surface (<i>Facies dorsalis</i>) is convex. The tip of the sacrum (<i>Apex ossis sacri</i>), positioned caudally, is connected to the coccyx. Dorsally of the sacrum, there are five bone ridges (longitudinal ridges), which emerged from the spinous, articular and transverse processes. Between the <i>foramina sacralia anteriora</i> are the four transverse lines of the fused vertebral bodies (<i>line transversae</i>). Furthermore, the passage (<i>Foramina sacralia pelvina</i>) for the spinal cord nerves (<i>spinal nerve</i>) is located there.<br>

The upper surface of the first sacral vertebra (S1) is directed upwards, towards the last lumbar vertebra. This surface is called the base ossis sacri. The widely protruding edge of this surface is called the promontorium. A wedge-shaped intervertebral disc lies between the fifth lumbar vertebra and this base. The caudal end of the sacrum tapers to a point and ends with the apex ossis sacri. There it joins the coccyx.

'''The coccyx (<i>Os coccygis)</i>'' on the other hand consists of '''three to four rudimentary vertebrae''. Only the '''first coccygeal vertebrae''' still shows a typical structure of a vertebra. The size of the coccyx decreases distally. From the first coccygeal vertebra arise two bony articular processes, the so-called coccygeal horns (<i>Cornua coccygea</i>). The coccyx also has short transverse processes and is generally connected to the tip of the sacrum by a cartilaginous (<i>Sacrococcygea</i>) process. This enables a passive forward and backward movement of the coccyx. From the age of mid-20, this mobility decreases due to mineralization.

The uneven, irregular, convex posterior surface (facies dorsalis) has three characteristic mountainous ridges. These lasts can vary in appearance. The spinous processes unite vertically in the middle to form a jagged bony ridge called the median sacral crest. In addition, the joint processes merge laterally and in pairs to form two medial sacral lines. Caudally, these ridges form the rudimentary articular processes of the fifth sacral vertebra, the Cornua sacralia. Between these rudiments, the spinal canal (Canalis sacralis) ends caudally at the lower opening of the sacrum (Hiatus sacralis). On the cranial side, they merge into the frontal articular processes (Procc. Articularis superior) for the fifth lumbar vertebra. The posterior sacral foramina can be seen on the lateral side of these groins. The transverse processes also create two groins by growing together; these are located laterally of the four paired bone openings and form the Crista sacralis lateralis.<br>

The sacrum (lat. os sacrum) together with the coccyx (lat. os coccygis) form the lowest part of the spine. In an adult person, the sacrum is the immobile part of the spine. The sacrum is joined to the coccyx. This bone combination has a triangular shape.


Anatomy of the sacrum

View and anatomy of the sacrum and the coccyx


The sacrum is located between the last lumbar vertebrae and the first coccyx vertebrae. It originally consists of five separate sacral vertebrae (Vertebrae sacrales, S1-S5). These and the intervertebral discs (discus intervertebrales) between them fuse together after birth to form the immobile part of the spinal column. The sacrum has a triangular shape.

The ventral side of the sacrum is characterized by a concave, smooth surface with a hollow (Facies pelvica). This side is oriented towards the pelvis. Four transverse struts are visible. Above these struts horizontal lines (Lineae transversae) are to be seen. These show the area where the individual vertebrae have grown together. At the same level as these lines, four paired openings in the bone can be seen, the Foramina sacralia anteriora.

The upper surface of the first sacral vertebra (S1) is directed upwards, towards the last lumbar vertebra. This surface is called the base ossis sacri. The widely protruding edge of this surface is called the promontorium. A wedge-shaped intervertebral disc lies between the fifth lumbar vertebra and this base. The caudal end of the sacrum tapers to a point and ends with the apex ossis sacri. There it joins the coccyx.

Views and anatomy of the sacrum and the coccyx


The uneven, irregular, convex posterior surface (facies dorsalis) has three characteristic mountainous ridges. These lasts can vary in appearance. The spinous processes unite vertically in the middle to form a jagged bony ridge called the median sacral crest. In addition, the joint processes merge laterally and in pairs to form two medial sacral lines. Caudally, these ridges form the rudimentary articular processes of the fifth sacral vertebra, the Cornua sacralia. Between these rudiments, the spinal canal (Canalis sacralis) ends caudally at the lower opening of the sacrum (Hiatus sacralis). On the cranial side, they merge into the frontal articular processes (Procc. Articularis superior) for the fifth lumbar vertebra. The posterior sacral foramina can be seen on the lateral side of these groins. The transverse processes also create two groins by growing together; these are located laterally of the four paired bone openings and form the Crista sacralis lateralis.

Furthermore, the fusion of the transverse processes with the rudiments of the ribs on both sides forms the body of the sacrum, the partes laterales. The ear-shaped joint surfaces (facies auriculares) for the iliac bones are attached to their sides.

Anatomy of the coccyx

The coccyx is the last section of the spine and consists of three to five vertebral rudiments. These are usually connected to each other as in the case of the sacrum. The coccyx connects directly under the sacrum. The specific vertebral form can only be recognized by the first vertebral rudiment. After caudally, the coccyx becomes narrower and narrower and ends as an apex (apex ossis coccygis). From the first coccygeal vertebra arise two bony articular processes, the so-called coccygeal horns (Cornua coccygea). The coccyx also has short transverse processes and is generally connected to the tip of the sacrum by a cartilaginous process (art. sacrococcygea). This enables a passive forward and backward movement of the coccyx. From the age of mid-20, mineralisation reduces this mobility.

Function

The sacrum is located in the pelvic area. Through this positioning, the sacrum provides the connection between the spine and the hip bones. This leads to a transfer of the load to the legs. Nerves are also conducted through the foramina sacralia. The coccyx, on the other hand, serves as a point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the pelvis, pelvic floor and hip joint. Since the pelvis is open at the bottom, these muscles and ligaments hold the organs in their intended position.

Furthermore, the female coccyx is involved in childbirth. Thus, the pressure exerted by the child's head during birth exploits the articulated connection to the sacrum. The coccyx shifts backwards by about two centimetres, thus enlarging the birth canal.

Development

The sacral and coccygeal vertebrae develop in the womb, just like the rest of the spine. At birth, the coccyx and sacrum also appear as separate movable vertebrae with intervertebral discs between them. From puberty onwards, the discs between the sacral vertebrae begin to ossify. The ossification leads to a fusion of the sacral vertebrae, which determines the shape of the sacrum. As a rule, a person has five sacral vertebrae which merge to form the sacrum. However, four or six vertebrae can also occur at this point.

The ossification results in different variants. If the first sacral vertebra is not fused with the sacrum, this is called lumbarization. The remaining sacral vertebra is then regarded as the sixth lumbar vertebra. In another direction, this phenomenon is called sacralization. Not only do the five sacral vertebrae ossify with each other, but either the last lumbar vertebra or the first coccyx also forms a connection with the sacrum.
