Not sure about that last paragraph[edit]

But please leave it anyway, until the article is fleshed out a bit more -- a little levity now and then is a good thing.drh (talk) 12:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is mostly incorrect[edit]

As a researcher involved with sacral dimples and other cutaneous lesions, this article is in need of some help. I'll be able to start fixing it in the near future (within a month). This page is probably not too popular anyway. Link465 (talk) 19:28, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Dimples of Venus"[edit]

"There is another use for the term "Dimples of Venus" in surgical anatomy. These are two symmetrical indentations on the posterior aspect of the sacrum which also contain a venous channel. They are used as a landmark for finding the superior articular facets of the sacrum as a guide to place sacral pedicle screws in spine surgery.^[1]"--from Dimples of Venus. Are these something different from the sacral dimples?

Inappropriate picture[edit]

It is possible to image this malformation without indecent exposure. 37.248.171.42 (talk) 20:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree, at least crop it. 2605:59C8:71:E110:FD95:7C92:CCF7:8C3B (talk) 02:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Picture removed. Calling for someone to contribute a picture that we can use in this article that is more appropriate. MedGME (talk) 11:26, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
