	Hip (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hip joint is the joint between the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static (e.g.
		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.

	III. Syndesmology. 7. Articulations of the Lower Extremity. a. Coxal Articulation or Hip-joint. Gray, Henry. 1918. ...
		This articulation is an enarthrodial or ball-and-socket joint, formed by the reception of the head of the femur into the cup-shaped cavity of the acetabulum.
		The articular cartilage on the head of the femur, thicker at the center than at the circumference, covers the entire surface with the exception of the fovea capitis femoris, to which the ligamentum teres is attached; that on the acetabulum forms an incomplete marginal ring, the lunate surface.
		The joint cavity sometimes communicates through a hole in the capsule between the vertical band of the iliofemoral ligament and the pubocapsular ligament with a bursa situated on the deep surfaces of the Psoas major and Iliacus.

	OFA: Hip Dysplasia Information
		Hip Dysplasia is a terrible genetic disease because of the various degrees of arthritis (also called degenerative joint disease, arthrosis, osteoarthrosis) it can eventually produce, leading to pain and debilitation.
		The joint's lubrication and ability to block inflammatory cells are lost and the debris-tainted joint fluid loses its ability to properly nourish the cartilage through impairment of nutrient-waste exchange across the joint cartilage cells.
		In an attempt to stabilize the joint to decrease the pain, the animal's body produces new bone at the edges of the joint surface, joint capsule, ligament and muscle attachments (bone spurs).

		Hip dysplasia is a laxity of the hip joint that develops between birth and skeletal maturity that can result in the abnormal alignment of articular surfaces.
		A fibrocartilagenous pad...the meniscus...sits in the joint, tightly associated with the tibia and guides the normal articular motion; the meniscus is composed of lateral (toward the outside) and medial (towards the inside) components.
