Pelvic Girdle

• The pelvic girdle consists of four bones: two hip bones (innominate bones), sacrum, and coccyx.

Hip Bone

• The hip bone is composed of three parts: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
• The articulations of the hip bone are the sacroiliac joint, pubic symphysis, and acetabulum.

Ilium

• The ilium is the largest and most superior part of the hip bone.
• It consists of an ala, a body, and an auricular surface.

Hip Joint

• The hip joint, also known as the coxofemoral joint, is formed by the articulation of the hip bone with the head of the femur.
• The hip joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint, allowing for a wide range of movements.
