About Your Hip Joint
Learning about hip anatomy can help you understand hip problems and your treatment options. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the upper leg to move from front to back, side to side, and rotate.
The “ball” part consists of the head of the femur (which is the largest and heaviest bone in the body). The “socket” is the acetabulum, a cavity in the pelvis that holds the femoral head. The acetabulum is lined with a thick ring of cartilage called the labrum.
