Broken Pelvis
A broken pelvis is a fracture of the pelvic bone.
The Pelvis is the bony structure located at the base of the spine
(properly known as the caudal end). The pelvis incorporates the socket
portion of the hip joint for each leg (in bipeds) or hind leg (in
quadrupeds). It forms the lower limb (or hind-limb) girdle of the
skeleton. |
