Pubic Arch

The pubic arch (arcus pubis) is a bony structure that is part of the pelvic ring. It is located in the front of the pelvis and connects the right and left pubic bones. The pubic arch is also called the pubobubic arch (pna), pubic tubercle (bna), or pubic symphysis (jna).

The pubic arch is an articular joint that is formed by the connection of the symphysis of the pubic bones. It is shaped like an arc and has high strength, due to the need to support the pelvic organs and withstand the loads of walking and other movements.

The pubic symphysis is a joint formed by the cartilage and ligaments that connect the pubic bones. The joint has some mobility, allowing the spine to tilt forward and backward as it moves.

The pubic arch plays an important role in the human reproductive system. It serves to attach muscles and ligaments that are involved in the function of the reproductive organs. In addition, the pubic arch is an important anatomical landmark for surgeons performing pelvic and abdominal surgery.

Some diseases and injuries can lead to disruption of the integrity of the pubic arch. For example, if the symphysis of the pubic bones is dislocated or if the bones that form the pubic arch are fractured, pain and dysfunction of the pelvic organs may occur. In such cases, surgery may be required to restore normal anatomy and function of the pubic arch.

Thus, the pubic arch is an important bony structure that plays an important role in maintaining the function of the pelvis and the human reproductive system. Its violation can lead to serious consequences, so in case of injuries or illnesses it is necessary to consult a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
