Description[edit | edit source]

The hip articulation is true diarthroidal balland-socket style joint, formed from the head of the femur as it articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis.  This joint serves as the main connection between the lower extremity and the trunk, and typically works in a closed kinematic chain.
