The hip is a synovial joint which links the axial skeleton to that of the lower extremity by the articulation of the femur and acetabulum. The tissue of the synovium which lines the joint has the important role of regulation of synovial fluid production but also can be a source of ...

The shoulder and hip joints form the only ball and socket joints in the body. These joints have the freest range of motion of any joint in the body --- they are the only joints that can move in a full circle and rotate around their axis. However, the drawback to the ball and sock...
The most common anatomical location is the knee joint, specifically the suprapatellar pouch, although cases have been described in many other synovial joints like the hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist and ankle. Bilateral synchronous involvement of knee and hip joints with primary lipoma arborescence in...
they occur where the ball of one bone end fits into the socket of another. Ball-and-socket joints allow for stable movement in several directions without slipping, creating a highly stable, strong joint. Your hip and shoulder joints are the only ball-and-socket synovial joints in your body,...
allow for stable movement and resemble saddle joints. Ball and socket joints allow you to bend in several different ways in a smooth motion without any pain or discomfort. These joints are very strong; a good example of a ball and socket synovial joint is the hip joint or femur acetabulum....
Examples – Shoulder/Hip Saddle Movements – Flexion/Extension/Adduction/Abduction/Circumduction Example – CMC joint at the base of the thumb Condyloid Movements – Flexion/Extension/Adduction/Abduction/Circumduction Examples – Wrist/MCP in the hand & MTP joints in the foot. ...
In addition to this basic structure, a synovial joint is typically surrounded by soft tissue structures that support the joint and help facilitate movement. These structures typically include: Tendons that attach muscles to bone Ligaments that attach bone to bone ...
Hyaluronan in synovial fluid of patients with loose total hip prosthesis : Comparison with hyaluronan in patients with hip osteoarthritis and idiopathic os... The concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronan (HA) in the synovial fluid of the hip joint were determined in 13 patients (aged 62.8...
Synovial diseases of the hip are often overlooked because they are far less frequent that osteoarthritis and because this joint is deep and so difficult to examine. The more important cause is septic arthritis; it requires an hospitalization in emergency. Synovial tissue may also be at the beginni...
