OS cox·ae (k k s ). n. The hipbone. OS coxae
The OS coxae is made of three fused bones the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Note these bones do not fuse until adulthood (about 16 or 17 years old).
The ilium, ischium, and pubis fuse to form the hip bone or os coxa.
The cuplike depression of the OS coxa into which the head of the femur fits is called the acetabulum. It forms the hip joint by articulating with the femoral head, allowing for a wide range of motion in the hip joint.
Ilium. The coxa has tree main bones: Ilium, the largest, Ishium and the Pubis which all connect together.
You sit on the ischial tuberosity of each coxa. This is the most prominent bone marking and provides support when sitting.
The hip bone prefix is "coxa-."
ischial tuberosity
The ilium, ischium, and pubis fuse to form the hip bone or os coxa.

greater sciatic notch?
One half of the pelvic girdle is called the os coxae or innominate bone, which consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones. These bones come together to form the acetabulum, which articulates with the femur to form the hip joint.
The medical root word 'coxa' refers to the hip (Latin).
Ilium. The coxa has tree main bones: Ilium, the largest, Ishium and the Pubis which all connect together.
The anterior joint that is between the hip jones is called the hip joint. The hip joint is a ball and socket synovial joint formed between the fur and os coxa.
The coxa are inferior to the thorax. Both are bony, and can be described as neither superficial nor deep in relation to each other.
The coxa refers to the hip bone or hip joint. The pelvis is the entire ring of bones around the base of abdomen.
