The ischial tuberosities are not necessarily a landmark for the groin straps.  I think it depends largely on the patient's anatomy whether this will be the case or not.  The important factor with the groin piece is that all slack is removed; and when removing the slack you use a two-handed technique, pulling up and out (into adductor surface of thigh) on the padding then pulling down on the free end of the strap to tighten.

Question from a recent training:

When placing the groin piece, should the groin piece make contact with the patient's ischial tuberosities?
