  2. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    The perforate acetabulum is a cup-shaped opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The orientation and position of the acetabulum is one of the main morphological traits that caused dinosaurs to walk in an upright posture with their ...

  3. Ilium (bone) - Wikipedia

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

    The acetabulum, which can be thought of as a "hip-socket", is an opening on each side of the pelvic girdle formed where the ischium, ilium, and pubis all meet, and into which the head of the femur inserts. The orientation and position of the acetabulum is one of the main morphological traits that caused dinosaurs to walk in an upright posture ...

  4. Iliofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliofemoral_ligament

    The iliofemoral ligament is a thick and very tough triangular capsular ligament of the hip joint situated anterior to this joint. It attaches superiorly at the inferior portion of the anterior inferior iliac spine and adjacent portion of the margin of the acetabulum; it attaches inferiorly at the intertrochanteric line.

  5. Wing of ilium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_of_ilium

    The surface of bone included between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines is concave from above downward, convex from before backward, and gives origin to the gluteus minimus. Between the inferior gluteal line and the upper part of the acetabulum is a rough, shallow groove, from which the reflected tendon of the rectus femoris arises.

  6. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    The hip bone is ossified from eight centers: three primary, one each for the ilium, ischium, and pubis, and five secondary, one each for the iliac crest, the anterior inferior spine (said to occur more frequently in the male than in the female), the tuberosity of the ischium, the pubic symphysis (more frequent in the female than in the male ...

  7. Anterior inferior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_inferior_iliac_spine

    A teardrop-shaped lower portion gives origin to the iliofemoral ligament of the hip joint and borders the rim of the acetabulum. [1] Anteromedially and inferiorly to the AIIS is the iliopsoas groove, the passage for the iliopsoas muscle as it passes down to the lesser trochanter of the femur.

  9. Arcuate line of ilium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_line_of_ilium

    The arcuate line of the ilium is a smooth rounded border on the internal surface of the ilium. It is immediately inferior to the iliac fossa and Iliacus muscle. It forms part of the border of the pelvic inlet. In combination with the pectineal line, it comprises the iliopectineal line. [1]
