    sacroiliac joint

    pelvis and sacroiliac joint
    A joint that connects the spinal column with the pelvis. The V-shaped sacrum near the base of the spine fits like a wedge between the wide wings of the ilium (hipbone). Ligaments and cartilaginous plates connect the bones.

    Inflammation or strain on the sacroiliac joint often causes lower back pain.
