    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    The hip bone ( os coxae, innominate bone, pelvic bone [1] or coxal bone) is a large flat bone, constricted in the center and expanded above and below. In some vertebrates (including humans before puberty) it is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis . The two hip bones join at the pubic symphysis and together with the sacrum ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

    A surgeon places a bone graft into position during a limb salvage. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly. Some small or acute fractures can be cured without bone grafting, but the risk ...

    The femoral head's surface is smooth. It is coated with cartilage in the fresh state, except over an ovoid depression, the fovea capitis, which is situated a little below and behind the center of the femoral head, and gives attachment to the ligament of head of femur .

    A hip dislocation is when the thighbone ( femur) separates from the hip bone ( pelvis ). [1] Specifically it is when the ball–shaped head of the femur ( femoral head) separates from its cup–shaped socket in the hip bone, known as the acetabulum.

  11. Acetabulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetabulum

    There are three bones of the os coxae (hip bone) that come together to form the acetabulum. Contributing a little more than two-fifths of the structure is the ischium, which provides lower and side boundaries to the acetabulum. The ilium forms the upper boundary, providing a little less than two-fifths of the structure of the acetabulum.
