Lantionivel

Lantionivel refers to the articulation between the sacrum and the ilium, commonly known as the sacroiliac joint. This joint is a complex structure that plays a crucial role in weight transfer between the upper body and the lower extremities. It is formed by the irregular surfaces of the sacrum, a triangular bone at the base of the spine, and the ilium, the largest bone of the pelvis. The sacroiliac joint is characterized by its strong ligaments, which provide stability to the pelvis.

The primary function of the lantionivel is to absorb shock and distribute forces. During activities such as walking, running, and standing, the joint transmits the weight of the trunk to the hips and legs. The inherent stability of the sacroiliac joint is essential for maintaining upright posture and efficient locomotion. Dysfunction of this joint can lead to pain and discomfort, often experienced in the lower back, buttocks, and thighs.

Several factors can contribute to lantionivel dysfunction. These include trauma, such as falls or direct impact to the pelvis, repetitive stress from certain activities, pregnancy due to hormonal changes that loosen ligaments, and degenerative changes associated with aging. Inflammatory conditions like ankylosing spondylitis can also affect the sacroiliac joints. Treatment approaches vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the dysfunction and may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention.
