Solution
Pelvic girdle consists of two halves called hip bones or coxal bones. Each hip bone is formed from the fusion of three bones.
Iilium (forms the upper part)
Ischium (forms the front part)
Pubis/pubic bone (forms the lower part)
Iilium, ischium and pubis in each half are separate in childhood but unite at early adulthood.
The two halves of pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form pubic symphysis which is a firm, fibrocartilaginous joint , So, this pubic symphysis is also joint between the two pubic bone.
