Type of Joint- Hip
Ball and socket (stability and weight bearing)
Movements of hip joint
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial/lateral rotation, circumduction
Hyaline Cartilage of Hip
Covers femoral head and acetabulum
Acetabular Labrum
Fibrocartilage that deepens the socket
Hip ligaments

-ligamentum teres
iliofemoral ligament
Y-shaped, prevents hyperextension
Pubofemoral Ligament
Prevents excessive abduction
Ischiofemoral Ligament
Located posteriorly, limits hyperextension
