Ileocecal Angle

Iliac (ischial) angle: anatomy and physiology

The ileo-cecal angle, or the ileocelvic angle, contains many important anatomical structures for the human body. It connects foramina, neurovascular bundles and ligaments. The innervation of the organs located below and beyond this angle depends on how adequate their relative position is.

The meaning of the iliac angle Normally, the ilium is securely connected to the femur thanks to the iliac articular surface. It can be facing inward or towards the pelvis. When leaning on the leg, the human talus presses on the femur from below, but on it (in the case of the articulation on the patella) from above. With such a trajectory of leg flexion, the motor activity of the pelvic bone also decreases. This prevents the movement of elements through the ileoscidal fissure and the area limited by it, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the urinary and digestive organs.

The joint range of motion in the hip joint is limited by the factors described above. Due to the anatomical features of the hip, when lifting the leg and transferring it, there is a coincidence of the hips not only with the pelvic and hips
