The largest and uppermost portion of the hip bone. The hip bone is the broadest bone of the skeleton, located in the sidewall and anterior wall of the pelvis. It is made up of three bones or parts: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.<\/p>\n
One of the three bones (the other two being the ischium and pubis) that unite before birth to form the innominate, or hip, bone.<\/p>\n
The broad, splaying portion of the hip bone which joins the pubis and the ischium, forming the acetabulum.<\/p>\n
A wide bone forming the upper part of each side of the hip bone. There is a concave depression (iliac fossa) on the inside of the pelvis; the right iliac fossa provides space for the vermiform appendix.<\/p>\n
One of the bones of each half of the pelvis. It is the superior and widest part and serves to support the flank. In the child, before fusion with adjacent pelvic bones, it is a separate bone.<\/p>\n
The upper, wide, wing-shaped bone that protrudes from the true pelvis and creates the bony ridge commonly known as the “hip.” Because this bone is easily accessible beneath the skin, many surgeons extract portions of it for use as grafts to bridge gaps in fractures. It is also known as the innominate bone.<\/p>\n
