Differences in articular cartilage thickness in the sacroiliac joint were investigated in different regions of the sacral and the iliac articular surfaces in the embalmed cadavers of five males and six females. The mean thickness of the sacral articular cartilage was greater than that of the iliac articular cartilage ( P < 0.001) and the sacral articular cartilage of the female was thicker than that of the male ( P < 0.02). Differences between thicknesses of the iliac articular cartilage in the male and female and in different regions of the sacral and iliac articular cartilages were found to be not significant. © 1995 WiIey‐Liss, Inc.
