lantionlevyisessä

Lantionlevyisessä is a Finnish term that translates to "pelvic bone" or "hip bone" in English. It refers to the complex structure of bones that forms the pelvis, a basin-shaped structure in the lower part of the trunk that connects the spine to the legs. The pelvic bone is composed of three fused bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These bones articulate with each other and form the acetabulum, a socket that receives the head of the femur (thigh bone) to create the hip joint.

The pelvic bone plays a crucial role in supporting the weight of the upper body and transferring it to the lower limbs. It also protects the pelvic organs, including the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum. The structure of the pelvic bone differs between males and females, with the female pelvis being generally wider and shallower to accommodate childbirth.

Conditions affecting the lantionlevyisessä can include fractures, dislocations, arthritis, and developmental abnormalities. These can lead to pain, limited mobility, and other functional impairments. Medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI are commonly used to diagnose problems related to the pelvic bone. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include rest, physical therapy, medication, or surgery.
