2024年11月21日 · Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the hip joint that progresses in four characteristic stages. With each stage of osteoarthritis of the hip, symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and loss of joint mobility will progressively worsen.

The hip joint (scientifically known as the acetabulofemoral joint) is a special type of 'ball-and-socket' joint. Its primary function is to support the weight of the body when at rest or while in motion.

2024年9月6日 · Normally, the ball glides smoothly within the socket, but a problem with the ball or socket rim can interfere with smooth motion, leading to hip impingement or femoro acetabular impingement...

Your hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint. Your femur is a long bone with a rounded top. The round part of your femur fits into a cup-like socket in your pelvis called the acetabulum. This type of joint offers a wide range of motion and provides support for your legs to hold your body.

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 acetabulum (/ ˌ æ s ɪ ˈ t æ b j ə l ə m /; [1] pl.: acetabula), also called the cotyloid cavity, is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint. [2] [3]

2025年1月7日 · The acetabulum (plural: acetabula) is the large cup-shaped cavity on the anterolateral aspect of the pelvis that articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint. All three bones of the pelvis (the ilium, ischium, and pubis) together form the acetabulum.

2025年2月4日 · What is the acetabulum? The acetabulum is a large socket on the lateral face of the hip bone that articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint. Anatomically, the acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three pelvic bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

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.

2021年8月2日 · The femoroacetabular joint is a ball and socket joint that joins the femoral head to the acetabulum. The ball and socket articulation allows for a high degree of mobility. In comparison to the shoulder joint it permits less range of movement due to the increased depth and contact area, but displays far more stability.
