Anatomical terms of bone
[edit on Wikidata]
The iliac fossa is a large, smooth, concave surface on the internal surface of the ilium (part of the 3 fused bones making the hip bone). The fossa is bounded above by the iliac crest, and below by the arcuate line; in front and behind, by the anterior and posterior borders of the ilium.
The fossa gives origin to the Iliacus muscle and is perforated at its inner part by a nutrient canal; below this there is a smooth, rounded border, the arcuate line, which runs anterior, inferior, and medial.
When the "left" or "right" adjective is used (e.g "right iliac fossa"), the iliac fossa usually means one of the nine regions of the abdomen.

Medial iliac stress fractures in athletes: report of two rare cases: review of literature and clinical recommendations.
Vitale K, Smitaman E, Huang BK.
Skeletal radiology. 2019 Jul;48(7)1119-1123.
Stress fractures are a common diagnosis in sports medicine and can result in significant loss of function, athlete playing time, and potentially lead to chronic symptoms. However, unusual locations of stress fractures may present with vague symptoms and a relatively benign physical exam, leading to
Distraction subtalar arthrodesis for calcaneal malunion: comparison of local versus iliac bone graft

We hypothesized that there is no difference in the clinical and radiological outcomes using local bone graft iliac graft for subtalar distraction arthrodesis in patients with calcaneal malunion. In addition, using local bone graft negates the donor site morbidity. We prospectively studied 28 calcan

Hip international : the journal of clinical and experimental research on hip pathology and therapy. 2019 May;29(3)336-341.
Internal limb-sparing hemipelvectomy is currently the preferred surgical option for resection of pelvic tumours. Obtaining an acceptable functional outcome through the standard ilioinguinal or iliofemoral incisions, only compounds the already challenging dissection, resection and reconstruction of t
