* deep socket in the coxal bone
* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse
* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulum
Acetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.
The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
The acetabulofemoral joint is a type of synovial, ball-and-socket joint located between the acetabulum of the pelvis and the head of the femur. This joint allows for a wide range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of the hip.
The point of articulation between the femur and the innominate bones is the hip joint, also known as the acetabulofemoral joint. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion in multiple planes, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
The joint above the knee is the hip joint, and the joint below the knee is the ankle joint.
The Scientific name for the hip joint is:Pelvis
The pelvis is made up of three bones; the ilium, the ischium, and the pubic bone. Attached to the back of the pelvis is the sacrum/coccyx which are two bones made of multiple vertebrae that are fused together. Also connected to the pelvic bone is the head of the femur (thigh bone) which sits in the acetabulum of the pelvis and creates the acetabulofemoral joint also known as the hip joint.
The acetabulofemoral joint is a type of synovial, ball-and-socket joint located between the acetabulum of the pelvis and the head of the femur. This joint allows for a wide range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of the hip.
Because hip joint is articulation between acetabulum (concavity on lateral surface of hip bone) and femur (thigh bone).
'The hip socket is a ball-and-socket joint medically known as the acetabulofemoral joint. The hip socket supports the weight of the human body in both static and dynamic motions. It is one of the strongest - if not the strongest - joint in the human body.

Rectus Femoris is a quadricep muscle located in the anterior thigh, on top of the vastus intermedius (another quadricep). All of the quadriceps insert to the patella, and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. Together they are responsible for extension of the knee. Rectus Femoris is the only quadricep that also crosses the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint) and attaches to the AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine). Because of this, Rectus Femoris also assists in flexion of the hip.
The pelvis is made up of three bones; the ilium, the ischium, and the pubic bone. Attached to the back of the pelvis is the sacrum/coccyx which are two bones made of multiple vertebrae that are fused together. Also connected to the pelvic bone is the head of the femur (thigh bone) which sits in the acetabulum of the pelvis and creates the acetabulofemoral joint also known as the hip joint.
A closed packed position of the hip is when the joint surfaces are maximally congruent and the ligaments are taut, providing the most stability to the joint. In the hip, this is typically in full extension and internal rotation. It is the position where the joint is most resistant to external forces.
