Bones Of The Hip - Structure Of The Hip - Pelvic Girdle Anatomy - Bones Of The Pelvis

In this video we discuss the bones of the hip, the structure of the hip and the anatomy of the pelvic girdle. We also cover the sacroiliac joints, the pubic symphysis and the acetabulum.

Transcript/notes

Pelvic girdle
The pelvis is comprised of 4 bones, the sacrum, the coccyx, a right os coxae and left os coxae, which are often called the hip bones. The left os coxae and right os coxaeare considered to be the pelvic girdle.

The sacrum articulates or forms a joint with the coccyx bone located behind or beneath it, and with each of the hip bones forming the sacroiliac joints.

Each of the os coxae is formed from 3 bones, the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis. These 3 bones fuse to form an os coxae bone usually between the ages of 13 and 15.

The right os coxae and left os coxae articulate with one another at the pubic symphysis that you see here on the skeletal model. Each of these hip bones has a curved depression called the acetabulum that articulates with a femur bone, or the bone of the upper leg, forming a ball and socket type joint.
