The hip joint is the most important ball-and-socket joint within the frame. It connects the pelvis to the thigh bone (femur). The socket is referred to as the acetabulum and the ball is the head of the femur bone. The hip joint is powerful, designed and constructed to withstand a awesome quantity of damage and tear, but, regardless of its sturdiness, the joint is not indestructible, and hip joint pain is not unusual.
