  2. Acetabular fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabular_fossa

    The acetabular fossa is the non-articular depressed region at the centre of the floor of the acetabulum.It is surrounded by the articular lunate surface. [1]: 1368 [2] The floor of the fossa is formed mostly by the ischium; [2] it is rough [1]: 1354 and thin (often to the point of transparency).

  3. Lunate surface of acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunate_surface_of_acetabulum

    It forms an incomplete ring that is deficient inferiorly - opposite the acetabular notch. The lunate surface surrounds the central, non-articular depression - the acetabular fossa - which does not make contact with the femoral head in the articulated hip joint. [1] Its surface consists of articular cartilage.

  4. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    The acetabulum is also home to the acetabular fossa, an attachment site for the ligamentum teres, a triangular, somewhat flattened band implanted by its apex into the antero-superior part of the fovea capitis femoris. The notch is converted into a foramen by the transverse acetabular ligament; through the foramen nutrient vessels and nerves ...

  5. Ischium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischium

    The acetabulum, which can be thought of as a "hip-socket", 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. The orientation and position of the acetabulum is one of the main morphological traits that caused dinosaurs to walk in an upright ...

  6. Acetabular notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabular_notch

    The acetabular notch is a deep [citation needed] notch in the inferior portion of the rim of the acetabulum. [ 1 ] : 1354 It is bridged by the transverse acetabular ligament , converting it into a foramen (through which nerves and vessels (including the acetabular notch of obturator artery [ 1 ] : 1250 ) pass into the hip joint cavity).

  7. X-ray of hip dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_of_hip_dysplasia

    Fossa/ilioischial relationship: In normal conditions the floor of the acetabular fossa is lateral to the ilioischial line by 2 mm in men and 1 mm in women. When the acetabular floor overlaps or overpasses the ilioischial line, the diagnosis of coxa profunda can be made.

  9. Upper extremity of femur - Wikipedia

    Trochanteric fossa; Linea quadrata; Quadrate tubercle; The head of femur, which articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone, composes two-thirds of a sphere. It has a small groove or fovea, connected through the round ligament to the sides of the acetabular notch. The head of the femur is connected to the shaft through the neck or collum ...
