TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - RADIOLOGIC EVALUATION OF THE PELVIS AND HIP A1 - McKinnis, Lynn N. PY - 2014 T2 - Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging AB - The pelvis is the keystone of the skeleton, a link between the weight forces from the trunk and upper body and the ground forces transmitted by the lower body. The structural strength of the pelvis is provided by its substantial osseous components and its relatively rigid ringlike architecture. Trauma to the pelvis requires great force, and fractures here are often associated with serious vascular and visceral complications. SN - PB - F. A.
