acetabulumrand

Acetabulumrand refers to the rim or edge of the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a cup-shaped socket in the pelvis that forms the hip joint, articulating with the head of the femur. The acetabulumrand is the bony border that surrounds this socket. It plays a crucial role in the stability and function of the hip joint. The labrum, a fibrocartilaginous ring, attaches to the acetabulumrand, deepening the socket and enhancing its congruence with the femoral head. This attachment helps to improve joint stability and distribute forces across the joint surface. Injuries to the acetabulumrand, such as fractures or labral tears, can significantly impact hip joint function, leading to pain, instability, and a reduced range of motion. The integrity of the acetabulumrand is essential for maintaining the proper alignment and mechanics of the hip.
