<br />
The '''acetabular fossa''' is a depression located in the center of the [[acetabulum]], which is part of the [[hip bone]]. It plays a crucial role in the structure and function of the [[hip joint]].<br />
<br />
==Anatomy==<br />
The acetabular fossa is a non-articular area of the acetabulum. It is situated at the base of the acetabulum and is surrounded by the [[lunate surface]], which is the articular portion of the acetabulum that makes contact with the [[femoral head]]. The fossa itself does not articulate with the femoral head and is instead filled with the [[ligamentum teres]] and a pad of [[fat]].<br />
<br />
==Function==<br />
The primary function of the acetabular fossa is to provide a space for the ligamentum teres, which is a ligament that extends from the fovea of the femoral head to the acetabular fossa. This ligament plays a role in stabilizing the hip joint, particularly in children. The fat pad within the fossa acts as a cushion and helps to distribute synovial fluid within the joint.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
During development, the acetabular fossa forms as part of the ossification process of the hip bone. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of three bones: the [[ilium]], [[ischium]], and [[pubis]]. The acetabular fossa is a result of the incomplete ossification of these bones, leaving a depression in the center of the acetabulum.<br />
<br />
==Clinical significance==<br />
The acetabular fossa is an important landmark in orthopedic surgery, particularly in procedures involving the hip joint such as [[total hip arthroplasty]]. Understanding its anatomy is crucial for surgeons to avoid damaging the ligamentum teres and to ensure proper placement of prosthetic components.<br />
