The ischium is the posteroinferior component of the pelvis, structured around four key landmarks: the ischial tuberosities (the 'sit bones' that bear weight when seated), the lesser sciatic notch, the ischial spine (an attachment point for ligaments), and the obturator foramen (a large opening bordered by the bone). Together these features define the bony architecture that supports seated posture and anchors multiple pelvic muscles.
