Said iliac supporting portions having a greater average transverse width than the average transverse width of said central portion and said iliac supporting portions having at least one opening therethrough. The iliac supporting portions and central portion may be generally plate-like with the iliac supporting portions projecting generally downwardly and outwardly with respect to the central portion. In a preferred embodiment, the iliac supporting portions will have an axial extent which is about 65 to 125 percent of the axial extent of the central portion and will form a larger included angle of about 100 to 140 degrees with respect to a plane passing through the central portion.
