Anatomy of the Hip
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the femur articulates with the cup-like acetabulum of the pelvic bone.
The head of the femur and the socket are covered with a layer of smooth cartilage, which cushions the joint and allows the bones to move on each other with very little friction.
ATTENTION! Due to construction, the patient drop-off area at our Van Nuys office will be temporarily unavailable beginning Monday, September 11, through Thursday, September 28. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
