When the femur and hip bone connect, they form one of the most important joints in the Human body: the hip joint. Now that you learned all their bony landmarks, test your knowledge here: https://khub.me/de70w

In this tutorial, we’re going to be exploring the osteology of the femur and, a specific part of the pelvis known as the hip bone. Remember that the hip bone is formed by the fusion of 3 bones: the ischium, ilium and pubic bone. Together, they form the acetabulum, which is the area where the head of the femur articulates with the hip bone. So we’re going to talk about that and many other bony elements related to the those important bones of the lower extremity.

Now, keep in mind that throughout this tutorial, we're not only going to talk about bony landmarks, but mentioning some of their functions. To tie this up, we're going to end this video talking about the ligaments that connect the femur and the hip bone.

We will talk about:
introduction to the bony pelvis;
overview of the bones that form the hip bone;
acetabulum;
definition and bony landmarks of the ilium;
definition and bony landmarks of the pubic bone;
definition and bony landmarks of the ischium;
bony landmarks of the femur;
main ligaments found between the femur and hip bone: ligament of the head of the femur, iliofemoral ligament, ischiofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, and transverse acetabular ligament.
