Hip Anatomy

The hip joint is a “ball and socket” joint. The “ball” is known anatomically as the femoral head; the “socket” is the part of the pelvis known as the acetabulum. Both the femoral head and the acetabulum are coated with articular cartilage. Like all joints, the hip has synovial or joint fluid, acting as a lubricant, which allows for smooth, painless movement within the hip joint.

Hip Conditions

The hip joint is considered to be the most stable joint in the human body. However, there are many conditions which may affect the hip joint, causing a patient pain and limited mobility.
