Hip Bone Anatomy | Reviews 2020

Today we learn hip bone or hip joint. Now we know full details of the hip bone anatomy how many bones locate in here, artery, nerves, ligaments, articulation or structure and movement. So don’t late let’s go.

Hip Bone Structure

The hip bone joint is the articulation between the hemispherical head of femur and the cup shaped acetabulum of the hip bone.

Type of the hip bone

Ball and socket type of synovial joint.

Name for Hip Bone

Ilium: The ilium is the largest bone and uppermost of the pelvis. The ilium is divided into two parts, the body and ala; the separation is indicated on the top surface by a curved line, the arcuate line and on the external surface by the margin of the acetabulum.

Ischium: One of the three parts of the hip bone, which joins the ilium and pubis to form the acetabulum. Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of these three bones whose fusion created the coxa. It is divided into three portions are-

• Body of Ischium: Contains a prominent spine which serves as the origin for gemellus superior.
• Superior ramus of the ischium: Serves as a partial origin for obturator externus and obturator internus.
• Inferior ramus of the ischium: Serves as a partial origin for gracillis and abductor magnus.

Pubis: The anterior and inferior part of the hip bone on either side, articulating with its fellow in the anterior mid line at the pubic symphysis; it is a separate bone in early life

Hip Bone Ligaments

Now we learn the ligaments of the hip joint are the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral and transverse acetabular ligaments and the ligament the head of femur.  So see below.

The ilillifemoral ligament: The iliofemoral ligament is shaped like an inverted Y and very strong, lying intimately and anteriorly blended with the capsule. Its apex is attached between the acetabular rim and anterior inferior iliac spine, its base to the intertrochanteric line.

The pubofemoral ligament: The pubofemoral ligament is triangular, its base attaching to the superior pubic ramus, obturator membrane, obturator crest and iliopubic eminence. It blends distally with the deep surface of the medial iliofemoral ligament and capsule...Read more
