Incisional biopsy of breast, bones and muscles: Incisional biopsy of bones: Pelvic
A tissue sample was taken from your pelvic bone during an operation.
In the pelvis there are various pelvic bones. At the back of the body the pelvic bones are connected to the sacrum of the spinal column. There is a joint on either side of the sacrum for this purpose. The pelvic bones plus the sacrum form the bony pelvic ring or girdle. In front, the pelvic bones are tightly joined to one another by ligaments and cartilage fiber.
