2023年10月30日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket type of synovial joint that connects the pelvic girdle to the lower limb. In this joint, the head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic (hip) bone.

2022年1月21日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket synovial joint, formed by an articulation between the pelvic acetabulum and the head of the femur. It forms a connection from the lower limb to the pelvic girdle, and thus is designed for stability and weight-bearing – rather than a large range of movement.

The hip joint connects the lower extremities with the axial skeleton. The hip joint allows for movement in three major axes, all of which are perpendicular to one another. The location of the center of the entire axis is at the femoral head. The transverse axis …

Your hip joint is a connection point between your legs and your torso. Specifically, it’s made up of your thigh bone (femur) and your hip bone (pelvis). It’s a ball-and-socket joint that supports your body weight and allows you to move your upper leg.

The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae), is the ball-and-socket joint between the pelvic acetabulum and the femoral head. Its primary function is to support the weight of the torso in both static (e.g. standing) …

2023年7月25日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that is the point of articulation between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. The joint is a diarthrodial joint with its inherent stability dictated primarily by its osseous components/articulations.

2022年1月1日 · From a mechanical point of view, the hip joint is a typical “ball-and-socket” joint, with the femoral head acting as the ball and the acetabulum as the socket. The bony surfaces in contact are covered by a layer of articular cartilage with spatially variable thickness and mechanical properties.

2024年6月28日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that represents the articulation of the bones of the lower limb and the axial skeleton (spine and pelvis). The rounded femoral head sits within the cup-shaped acetabulum. The acetabulum is formed by the three bones of the pelvis (the ischium, ilium and pubis).

Descriptively the hip joint is commonly discussed in the extended position. However, a clear mental picture of the anatomical changes which occur during the full range of joint motion forms an essential adjunct to an accurate evaluation of the …

2010年1月1日 · In this review we outline the function of the key anatomical components of the hip and discuss the relevant related biomechanical issues. Understanding the forces that cross the hip and the...
