The document summarizes the key aspects of the hip joint. It is a ball and socket synovial joint, with the femoral head forming the ball and the acetabulum forming the socket. Several ligaments support and stabilize the joint, including the fibrous capsule, iliofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, ischiofemoral ligament, and ligament of the head of femur. The joint receives its blood supply from local vessels and its nerve supply from the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, nerve to quadratus femoris, and superior gluteal nerve. It allows for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation movements.
