Abstract
This chapter describes the functional anatomy of the pelvis for the reconstructive surgeon. We anticipate that many of our readers will have a strong clinical and surgical background, and we include clinical observations to illustrate anatomic concepts. Our bias is toward clinical relevance, and the chapter is not meant as an exhaustive anatomic treatment.
