This is the largest foramen leading to and from the pelvis. One of the structures is the sciatic nerve. The foramen might be somewhat "closed" by bone and can "pinch" the sciatic nerve. This is very painful and a person can't dorsiflex the foot. Surgery can open the foramen and reduce the pain and disability.
