-
are two ligaments, which assist in securing the sacro-iliac articulation. The great or posterior sacro-sciatic ligament extends from the crista ilii and the sides of the sacrum and coccyx to the tuberosity of the ischium. The less or anterior sacro-sciatic ligament arises from the same point, and terminates in the spine of the ischium.
