The two ligaments convertthe sacro-ischiatic notches into foramina. 3. Between the Sacrum ayicl Coccyx.—The anterior sacro-coccygeanligament is a thin fasciculus passing from the anterior surface of thesacrum to the front of the coccyx. Fig. 64.*. The posterior sacro-coccygean ligament is a thick ligamentous layer,which completes the lower part of the sacral canal, and connects thesacrum with the cocc\tc posteriorly, extending as far as the apex ofthe latter bone. Between the two bones is a thin disk of soft fibrous cartilage. Infemales there is frequently a small synovial membrane. This articu-lation admits of a certain degree of movement backwards dmingparturition. * Ligaments of the pelvis and bip-joint. The view is taken from the The oblique sacro-iliac ligament.
