The rest is formed by the pubis, near the midline. It is bounded by a prominent uneven rim, thick and strong on top, which serves as the point of attachment for the acetabular labrum . The acetabular labrum reduces the size of the opening of the acetabulum and deepens the surface of the hip joint.
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).
Elementary fracture Description Associated fractures Description Posterior wall: This is the most common variety of acetabular fracture. It typically occurs due to dashboard injury; when a person travelling in a vehicle involved in a head-on collision, the force applied over the flexed knee travels along the femur bone to the head of the femur, breaking the posterior wall of the acetabulum.
The acetabular labrum (glenoidal labrum of the hip joint or cotyloid ligament in older texts) is a fibrocartilaginous ring [1] [2] [3] which surrounds the circumference of the acetabulum of the hip, deepening the acetabulum. The labrum is attached onto the bony rim and transverse acetabular ligament. It is triangular in cross-section (with the ...
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).
Impingement occurs when the femoral head rubs abnormally or lacks a full range of motion in the acetabular socket. [7] There are three different forms of FAI. The first form is caused by a cam-deformity where extra bone is present on the femoral head, which leads to the head being non-spherical.
Forensic genealogists solve a 21-year-old case, linking a jawbone to a U.S. Marine captain who died more than 70 years ago in Orange County.
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 ...
