HIP BONE

 ANATOMICAL POSITION:-
 Ilium is in superior position ( Largest part).
 Pubis is in anterior and medial position.
 Acetabulum is in lateral position.
 Greater sciatic notch is in the back side.
 INTRODUCTION:-
 Hip bone is also known as Innominate (Irregular bone).
 It makes three parts. They are:
o Ilium- Superiorly (Latin- Loin).
o Pubis- Anteroinferiorly (Latin-Genital area).
o Ischium- Posteroinferiorly (Greek- Hip joint).
 All three parts are joined to each other at a cup-shaped
Acetabulum (Latin- Vinegar Cup).
 The pubis and ischium is separated by a large oval opening
called the Obturator Foramen.
 Acetabulum articulates with the head of the Femur to form Hip
joint.
 The pubic parts of the two hip bones meets anteriorly to form
the Pubic Symphysis.
 The two hip bones form the pelvic or the hip girdle.
 The bony pelvis is formed by the two hip bones along with the
Sacrum and Coccyx.
