The 'hip bone' is known in two other ways, the innominate bone or coxal bone.
It consists of three main parts, the pubis, ilium and ischium, each playing a vital role in the structure of your hip.
The ilium, supports the flank, and is the superior broad and expanded portion which extends upward from the acetabulum.
The ischium is the lowest and strongest portion of the bone; it proceeds downward from the acetabulum, expands into a large tuberosity, and then, curving forward, forms, with the pubis, a large aperture, the obturator foramen.
The pubis extends medially and inferiorly from the acetabulum and articulates in the midsagittal plane at the pubic symphysis, with the bone of the opposite side: it forms the front of the pelvis and supports the external organs of reproduction.
