 Anatomy of
the Hip
The hip
joint is a ball-and-socket arrangement that allows a free rotation of
the limb in a wide range of directions. The head of the femur rests in
a the acetabulum (socket) in the hip bone.
This arrangement forms a ball-and-socket joint, which provides
great strength and allows a wide range of movement.
The hips are part of the
pelvic girdle, a bowl-shaped complex of bones that
connects the trunk and legs, supports and balances the trunk.
Pain coming from the hip commonly manifests as pain in the groin.
