note = "Funding Information: The iliopectineal, or arcuate, line divides the pelvis into the upper pelvis (which is part of the abdomen and the lower pelvis) and the true pelvis. The iliopectineal line is also part of the femorosacral arch, a subsidiary tie arch. The bodies of the pubic bones and the superior rami support the body in an erect position. The weight‐bearing forces transmitted by sitting are supported by the ischiosacral arch and by its ties to the pubic bones, inferior pubic rami, and the ischial rami. When trauma to the pelvis occurs, the first ties to fracture are the pubic symphysis, pubic rami, and the area just lateral to the sacroiliac joint. There are five joints within the pelvis that allow some movement. These are lumbosacral, sacroiliac (2), sacrococcygeal and joints and the pubic symphysis. ",
