< b>Joint, acetabular: The hip joint by another name. The acetabulum is the
cup-shaped socket of the hip joint. It is a key feature of the pelvic anatomy. The
head (upper end) of the femur (the thighbone) fits right into the acetabulum, articulates
with it, and thereby forms a ball-and-socket joint, the largest in the human body.
The term "acetabulum" is appropriate because in Latin it is a cup, a vinegar
cup.
