The hip bone (os coxae, innominate bone, pelvic bone[1][2] or coxal bone) is a large flat bone , constricted in the center and expanded above and below. In some vertebrates (including humans before puberty) it is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis. 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. Hip Joint Diarthrodial joint with its inherent stability dictated primarily by its osseous components/articulations. Primary function of the hip joint is to provide dynamic support the weight of the body/trunk while facilitating force and load transmission from the axial skeleton to the lower extremities, allowing mobility [1] Typically works in a closed ... The hip bone refers specifically to the composite bone formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis . The pelvis is a ring-like bony structure formed by two hip bones laterally and anteriorly, and the sacrum and coccyx posteriorly. Hip bone As mentioned previously, the hip bone is the largest bone from the ones that form the bony pelvis. It is also known as the coxal bone (from Latin os coxae), pelvic bone , and innominate bone . The hip bone is irregular-shaped and composed of three smaller bones that fuse together - ilium, ischium, and pubis.
