Detailed explanation-1: -Your hip joint is a connection point between your thigh bone (femur) and your hip bone (pelvis). Your hip joint is one of the largest joints in your body after your knee.

Detailed explanation-2: -The femur or thigh bone is one of the longest bones in the human body. The upper part of the thigh bone consists of the femoral head, femoral neck, and greater and lesser trochanters. The head of the femur joins the pelvis (acetabulum) to form the hip joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -The head of the femur joins the pelvis (acetabulum) to form the hip joint. Next to the femoral neck, there are two protrusions known as greater and lesser trochanters which serve as sites of muscle attachment.

Detailed explanation-4: -The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest bone in the body. The femoral head is the ball in the ball-and-socket joint, and fits into the acetabulum. It sits on top of the femoral neck. At the base of the neck is the greater trochanter which marks the widest point of the hip area in the skeleton.
