    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    16580 16585, 16580. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] 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.

  3. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    There are three bones of the os coxae (hip bone) that come together to form the acetabulum. Contributing a little more than two-fifths of the structure is the ischium, which provides lower and side boundaries to the acetabulum. The ilium forms the upper boundary, providing a little less than two-fifths of the structure of the acetabulum.

  4. Pubis (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubis_(bone)

    The pubic bone is made up of a body, superior ramus, and inferior ramus (Latin: branch). The left and right coxal bones join at the pubic symphysis. It is covered by a layer of fat – the mons pubis. The pubis is the lower limit of the suprapubic region. In the female, the pubis is anterior to the urethral sponge.

  5. Hip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip

    In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxa [1] (pl.: coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and lateral to the obturator foramen, with muscle tendons and soft tissues overlying the greater trochanter of the femur. [2]

  6. Ilium (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilium_(bone)

    16589. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The ilium (/ ˈɪliəm /) (pl.: ilia) is the uppermost and largest region of the coxal bone, and appears in most vertebrates including mammals and birds, but not bony fish. All reptiles have an ilium except snakes, although some snake species have a tiny bone which is considered to be an ilium.

  7. Ischium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischium

    The ischium is made up of three parts–the body, the superior ramus and the inferior ramus. The body contains a prominent spine, which serves as the origin for the superior gemellus muscle. The indentation inferior to the spine is the lesser sciatic notch. Continuing down the posterior side, the ischial tuberosity is a thick, rough-surfaced ...

  8. Sacroiliac joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint

    The joint locks (or rather becomes close packed) on one side as weight is transferred from one leg to the other, and through the pelvis the body weight is transmitted from the sacrum to the hip bone. The motions of the sacroiliac joint Anterior innominate tilt of both hip bones on the sacrum (where the left and right move as a unit) Posterior ...

  9. Acetabular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabular_fracture

    This injury is caused by a blow to either the side or front of the knee and often occurs as a dashboard injury accompanied by a fracture of the femur. [1] The acetabulum is a cavity situated on the outer surface of the hip bone, also called the coxal bone or innominate bone. It is made up of three bones, the ilium, ischium, and pubis.
