The true pelvis is the portion of the pelvis between the pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet, while the false pelvis is located above the pelvic inlet and is larger than the true pelvis. The anterior boundary of the true pelvis is the pubic symphysis, while the ischium forms the posterior and inferior boundary. The iliac crests, located above the pelvic inlet, form the superior boundary of the false pelvis.
