The bony pelvis is constituted by the ilium, ischium, pubis, and sacrum. The pelvic radiograph is an important component of the skeletal survey performed in suspected skeletal dysplasia. Most of the common skeletal dysplasias have either minor or major radiological abnormalities; hence, knowledge of the normal radiological appearance of bony pelvis is vital for recognizing the early signs of various skeletal dysplasias. This article discusses many common and some uncommon radiological findings on pelvic radiographs along with the specific dysplasia in which they are seen; common differential diagnostic considerations are also discussed.

“…Among the three constituents of the hip bone, the pubis is the last to ossify, between months 5 and 6 of gestation. The primary ossification center is located within the superior pubic ramus, in front of the acetabulum and just in the close vicinity of the obturator and femoral nerves [ 4 , 9 , 10 , 16 , 24 , 26 ]. During the early development, the pubic ossification center is dumbbell-shaped [ 24 ] or bean-shaped [ 4 ], and constitutes the smallest and most dainty component in the whole pelvis.…”

“…At birth, the pubis is somewhat oval, with its articular surface pointed anteriorly [ 24 ] and with its superior pubic ramus considerably ossified [ 9 ]. Basing on 1286 radiographs of full-term neonates, Caffey and Madell [ 4 ] found that the superior pubic ramus was ossified in all examined cases.…”

“…The prenatal ultrasonic diagnostics is an effective method of detecting those defects due to a high degree of shortening of the limbs and absence of ossification centers in the vertebral column [ 13 ]. Cleidocranial dysplasia is a disorder characterized by abnormalities in the vertebral column curvatures and cranial ossification, hypoplasia or dysplasia of the clavicle, delayed ossification of the pelvic bones, mostly the pubis, and abnormal ossification of shafts [ 8 , 9 ]. Delayed ossification of the pubis causes an increase in the distance between the bilateral pubic bones, thus leading to numerous disturbances that can be misdiagnosed as urinary bladder exstrophy, epispadias, or other defects within the anterior abdominal wall [ 9 ].…”

Quantitative anatomy of the primary ossification center in the fetal pubis bone

Purposes Skeletodysplasiae and hereditary dysostoses constitute a group of over 350 disorders of the skeletal system. Knowledge about development of the pubic primary ossification center may be useful in both determining the fetal stage and maturity, and for detecting congenital disorders. The present study was performed to quantitatively examine the pubic primary ossification center with respect to its linear, planar, and volumetric parameters. Materials and methods Using methods of computed tomography (CT), digital-image analysis and statistics, the size of the pubic primary ossification center in 33 spontaneously aborted human fetuses (18 males and 15 females) aged 22–30 weeks was studied. Results With no sex and laterality differences, the best-fit growth dynamics for the pubic primary ossification center was modeled by the following functions: y = − 13.694 + 0.728 × age ± 0.356 for its sagittal diameter, y = − 3.350 + 0.218 × age ± 0.159 for its vertical diameter, y = − 61.415 + 2.828 × age ± 1.519 for its projection surface area, and y = − 65.801 + 3.173 × age ± 2.149 for its volume. Conclusions The size of the pubic primary ossification center shows neither sex nor laterality differences. The growth dynamics of the vertical and sagittal diameters, projection surface area, and volume of the pubic ossification centers follow proportionately to fetal age. The obtained numerical findings of the pubic ossification center are considered age-specific reference data with clinical implications in the diagnostics of congenital defects.

Orthopaedic Aspects of SAMS Syndrome

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The combination of short stature, auditory canal atresia, mandibular hypoplasia, and skeletal abnormalities (SAMS, OMIM: 602471) has been reported as an ultra-rare, autosomal-recessive developmental disorder with unique skeletal anomalies. To the present date, only four affected individuals have been reported. There are several striking orthopaedic diagnoses within the SAMS syndrome. In particular, the scapulohumoral synostosis and the bilateral congenital ventral dislocation of the hips. The purpose of this report is to underline the importance of recognizing pathognomic features of SAMS syndrome. Whenever a bilateral congenital ventral dislocation of the hips and/or a scapulohumoral synostosis is found or clinically suspected, SAMS syndrome should be considered as the primary diagnosis until proven otherwise.
