The ball and socket joint (hip joint) join the femur with the coxal bone.
What are ball and socket joints?
The ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-shaped depression of another bone in a synovial joint known as a ball and socket joint. The distal bone can rotate around an infinite number of axes, all of which share the same central point.
Examples:
- round head of the femur rests in the cup-like acetabulum cavity of the pelvis and forms the hip joint
- rounded upper extremity of the humerus rests in the cup-like glenoid cavity of the shoulder and forms the shoulder joint
