Hip Anatomy
The healthy hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball is at the top of the thighbone (femur), and the socket (acetabulum) is in the hipbone (pelvis). The connection allows the leg to move in a variety of positions. The ball and socket are each covered with cartilage that lubricates and cushions the bones during movement.
