What is the acetabulofemoral?
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
With what part of the hip bone does The head of the femur articulate?
The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
What are the structure of the femur?
The structure of femur include a ball-and-socket synovial joint. It is a round, cup-shaped structure on the hip bone known as the acetabulum.
Joint between axail skeleton and pelvic girdle?
The sacroiliac joint. Between the Sacrum and iliac.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The tibiofemoral joint is at the distal and of the femur and proximal end of the tibia. The femur is the thighbone, and the tibia is the larger of the two bones of the lower leg.

What kind of joint is femur and fibula?
The femur and fibula are the names of bones. Bones are not joints; rather, joints are found where bones are connected. The joint located between the femur and fibula is called the knee joint.
Where does a Femur go?
The Femur Articulates (Forms a joint) with the Acetabularium of the pelvis bone at the junction of Ilium and Ischium. This is a ball and Socket Joint. And this is at the proximal end of the Femur. The distal end of the Femur articulates with the Tibia and Fibula (The bones of the shank region). This is a hinge joint.
