Definition
  1. Noun:
    • One of the three bones forming the hipbone: The pubis is one of the three paired bones (the ilium, ischium, and pubis) that fuse in adulthood to form each half of the hipbone (os coxae). The left and right pubic bones meet at the front of the pelvis at the pubic symphysis.
Usage Examples
  • Noun:
    • The fracture was located in the inferior ramus of the pubis.
