Explanation

"Bony pelvis" refers to the part of the skeleton that is located in the lower part of the torso. It's a bowl-shaped structure that includes the hip bones, the sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine), and the coccyx (also known as the tailbone). This area supports the weight of the upper body and helps with walking, running, and sitting. When a report says the "bony pelvis is intact," it means that these bones are not broken or damaged.
