N2  - Some time ago the writer was much surprised, on reading the literature of the minute anatomy of the sacro-iliac joint or synchondrosis, to find such a marked disagreement among the most prominent anatomists and gynecologists. To quote in brief from some of them: Morris holds that even the presence of synovial membrane is not constant, stating that it is more apt to be present in the female. Luschka believes that a small amount of synovial membrane is always present and that it increases in size at times of pregnancy. Cunningham states that the synovial cavity is imperfect and rudimentary, but believes that hyaline articular cartilage exists usually. Testut, the great French anatomist, mentions certain folds of synovial membrane which occur here and there, filling up gaps or margins of the fibrocartilage.
