Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Pelvic Floor Support Systems of Subjects with and without Pelvic Organ Prolapse

<div>Attachment of the levator ani muscle with the pelvis. The LAM attaches to the coccygeus posteriorly and laterally to the tendinous arch of the pelvic fascia (ATFP), which lies on the OI. Note that in our model the LAM attaches to the OI laterally. The OI attaches to the obturator foramen. LAM: levator ani muscle (orange); OI: obturator internus (lime); pelvis (magenta).</div>
