Our body is made up of around 206 bones and 360 joints which work together to provide us with smooth movements. Out of these 360 joints, the hip joint is one of the most important joints in the human body. It allows one to walk, run, and jump. It bears most of the body’s weight and the force of the strong muscles of the hip and leg. Yet the hip joint is also one of our most flexible joints and allows a greater range of motion than all other joints in the body except for the shoulder. The structure of a hip joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint formed between the (hip bone) and the femur. A round, cup-shaped structure on the hip bone, known as the acetabulum, forms the socket for the hip joint.
