	Hip (anatomy) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In anatomy, the hip is the bony projection of the femur, known as the greater trochanter, and the overlying muscle and fat.
		The hip joint is a multiaxial ball and socket synovial joint formed by the articulation of the rounded head of the femur and the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvis.
		The posterior of the hip joint capsule is reinforced by the ischiofemoral ligament that attaches from the ischial part of the acetabular rim to the femur.

	Hip (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hip joint coxal joint is a multiaxial ball and socket synovial joint formed by the articulation of the rounded head of the femur and the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvis.
		The head of the femur is attached to the pelvis by a thin neck region that is often prone to fracture in the elderly, mainly due to the degenerative effects of osteoporosis.
		The hips of females, as compared to males, are broader in both the width dimension and the front-to-back dimension, with the femurs spaced wider apart, so as to widen the opening in the hip bone through which babies pass.

	Hip Anatomy-Biomechanics
		We feel that the intertrochanteric region of the hip is important for long-term fixation and stability, while the diaphyseal region distal to the lesser trochanter is principally important for initial fixation and stability of the components.
		When the hip is exposed by using the direct lateral approach, the posterior-most fibers of the gluteus medius may resist the anterior retraction, necessitating transection of that posteriormost portion of the tendon.
		The psoas serves to reinforce the Y ligament of Bigelow as the hip is extended.

		Hip pain results from damage to the hip joint –; a ball and socket joint that connects the ball-shaped top of the leg bone (femur) to the hip socket.
		The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that forms where the top of the thighbone (femur) meets the socket of the pelvic bone.
		Osteoarthritis of the hip is the gradual wearing down of the smooth gliding surfaces of the hip joint.

		The hip is a ball and socket joint, with the socket (acetabulum) in the pelvis meeting the ball (femoral head) located on the upper end of the thigh bone (femur).
		Fracture of the hip is a common injury in the elderly patient after a fall, due to the weakening of bone which occurs with aging.
		The total hip prosthesis consists of a metal femoral component which is inserted in the canal inside the upper thigh bone and which moves in the acetabular component, which is a polyethylene socket with metal backing placed in the pelvis.

	Hip dysplasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the normal anatomy of the hip joint, the thigh bone (femur) is connected to the pelvis at the hip joint.
		Hip modification surgeries include excision arthroplasty, in which the head of the femur is removed and reshaped or replaced, and pelvic rotation (also known as triple pelvic osteotomy, or pubic symphodesis) in which the hip socket is realigned, may be appropriate if done early enough.
		Hip replacement is expensive but (since it completely replaces the faulty joint) has the highest percentage of success especially in severe cases, usually restores complete mobility if no other joint is affected, and also completely prevents recurrence.

		The hip is a ball and socket joint, uniting the femur (thigh bone) with the pelvis.
		The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest bone in the body and connects to the pelvis at the hip joint.
		The ligaments of the hip joint connect the femur to the pelvis and are essential to keeping the hip from moving outside of its normal planes of movement.

		Although the first hip arthroscopic procedure was performed in 1931, only in the last five years has hip arthroscopy been performed routinely, with specific indications and better defined techniques.
		The iliopsoas attaches to the lesser trochanter of the femur and functions as the primary flexor of the hip.
		It increases the surface area of the socket, thereby increasing hip stability and decreasing stress on the acetabular articular cartilage.

		Treatment may include exercises to strengthen the hip muscles, anti-inflammatory medications, and a cane to be used in the hand opposite the affected hip, which decreases the forces across it.
		In most total hips designs, the head and neck of the femur are cut off and replaced by a metal prosthesis, which is placed inside the femur and fixed either with cement or with bone ingrowth into a special surface on the prosthesis.
		Although the results are overwhelmingly satisfactory, hip replacement is a major surgical procedure with potential complications, such as infections, medical complications, dislocation of the hip prosthesis, and loosening of the components, which may require re-operation.

	Hip Replacement Surgery - Patient Education Guide
		The hip joint is the most flexible free-moving joint in the body, as well as one of its largest weight-bearing joints.
		Essentially a ball-and-socket joint formed where the rounded "ball" of the femur (your upper leg bone) joins the cup-shaped socket (the acetabulum) of your pelvic bone, the hip can move backwards and forwards, from side-to-side, and perform twisting motions.
		As the lining becomes increasingly inflamed, the joint's cartilage is damaged, and the hip becomes stiff and sore.

		Conventional Total Hip Replacement is a very successful procedure for the treatment of Hip Arthritis.
		The purpose of total hip replacement is to remove the two damaged and worn parts of the hip joint - the hip socket (acetabulum) and the ball (femoral head) - and replace them with smooth, artificial implants called prostheses, which will help make the hip strong, stable, and flexible again.
		For younger, more active people needing a hip replacement there is a high chance that a traditional hip replacement will wear out during their lifetime and need to be replaced again - a second replacement (revision) is much more difficult and consequently may last a shorter time than the original replacement.
