How does the ossa coxae compare in the fetal skeleton and adult skeleton?

In the fetal skeleton, the ossa coxae (hip bones) are not fully fused, and they consist of three separate bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. In the adult skeleton, these three bones have fused together to form a single hip bone. Additionally, the acetabulum, the socket where the femur connects to the hip bone, is not fully developed in the fetal skeleton but is complete in the adult skeleton.
