The hip bone (os coxae) is a large, irregular bone formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis. It articulates with the sacrum posteriorly and with its fellow anteriorly at the pubic symphysis, forming the bony pelvis. The acetabulum at its lateral surface articulates with the femoral head to form the hip joint.
