Its external surface forms part of the lunate surface of the acetabulum and a portion of the acetabular fossa. Its internal surface is part of the wall of the lesser pelvis; it gives origin to some fibers of the internal obturator. No muscles insert on the body.

    The acetabular fossa is the non-articular depressed region at the centre of the floor of the acetabulum. It is surrounded by the articular lunate surface . [ 1 ] : 1368 [ 2 ] The floor of the fossa is formed mostly by the ischium ; [ 2 ] it is rough [ 1 ] : 1354 and thin (often to the point of transparency).
