Furthermore, do you need your coccyx?
Although the tailbone is considered vestigial (or no longer necessary) in the human body, it does have some function in the pelvis. For instance, the coccyx is one part of a three-part support for a person in the seated position. The tailbone is the connecting point for many pelvic floor muscles.
Secondly, what muscles connect to the coccyx? The anterior side of the coccyx has attachments to the levator ani muscle, coccygeus, iliococcygeus, and pubococcygeus, anococcygeal raphe. Attached to the posterior side is the gluteus maximus, which extends the thigh at the hip joint.
Beside this, can you live without a tailbone?
Tailbone So, why don’t you need this body part anymore? You guessed it — we no longer have anything related to a tail. Your tailbone isn’t totally useless, though — it helps the pelvis function normally and gives you balance when you‘re sitting. Other than that, it doesn’t serve much of a purpose.
Can you remove your coccyx?
Your coccyx may need to be completely removed in an operation called a coccygectomy. Alternatively, you may only have part of your coccyx removed in a procedure known as a partial or limited coccygectomy.
