The hip: the pivot of our mobility<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The hip joint is a major joint in the human body, enabling great mobility and supporting our weight when walking, running and other activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The bones that make up the hip<\/h2><\/div>

The hip is formed by the joint between two main bones: the hipbone and the femur. The iliac bone is part of the pelvis, while the femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body.<\/p>\n

Iliac bone<\/h3>\n

The iliac bone, also known as the coxal bone, is a broad, flat bone that forms the upper part of the pelvis. It’s made up of three parts: the iliacus, the ischium and the pubis. These three parts come together in adulthood to form a single structure, the iliac bone.<\/p>\n
