Hip Joint Anatomy

As I am sure you are aware, the hip joint (iliofemoral joint) is classified as a synovial ball and socket joint. This joint consists of the head of the femur articulating with the socket (acetabulum) of the pelvic girdle, which is made up of three bones—the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Because of the multiaxial motion that is possible at the hip joint, it will not come as a surprise that it is one of the most mobile joints of the body. Given its inherent architecture of a deep acetabulum (socket), however, the joint has a great deal of stability as well as mobility (Figure 8.1).
