Definition of acetabulum in English:

acetabulum

nounPlural acetabula ˌasɪˈtabjʊləmˌæsəˈtæbjələm

1Anatomy
The socket of the hip bone, into which the head of the femur fits.
Example sentencesExamples
- Bone loss can occur around both the acetabulum and femur.
- Some surgeons impact the shell implant into the acetabulum, and other surgeons prefer to fixate the implant with screws.
- Gradually the blood vessels to the hip cut off nourishment to the head of the femur where it fits into the acetabulum.
- For example, fractures of the acetabulum and pubic ramus or stress fractures may present with signs and symptoms similar to those of a hip fracture.
- Treatment aims to contain the femoral head in the acetabulum to reduce the risks of future osteoarthritis.
- The hip is a synovial, ball-and-socket joint formed by the head of the femur and acetabulum of the coxal bone.
- The acetabulum, the hollowing in the bony pelvis that forms the receptive portion of the hip articulation, is named after the small cup used to hold a popular dipping sauce at Roman dining tables.
- The porous acetabulum may be secured with screws to allow cancellous bone ingrowth.
- The acetabulum contains the socket portion of the hip joint and must be reshaped to restore its original center.
- An x-ray is taken postoperatively to verify that the acetabulum is corrected and the acetabular fragment is secured with cortical screws.
- The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the thigh bone's femoral head fits into the acetabulum of the pelvis.
- The acetabulum is also the socket for the head of the femur.
- In this operation both the head of the femur and the acetabulum are replaced (total hip arthroplasty).
- The two tendons unite to form an arch over the acetabulum.
- At birth the femoral head and the acetabulum are mainly cartilaginous, and a normal adult hip joint depends on their correct development.
- The hip is a true ball-and-socket joint, where the ball of the femur is securely cradled in a deep socket of pelvic bone called the acetabulum.
- The acetabular labrum is a triangular fibrocartilage that is attached at its base to the rim of articular cartilage surrounding the perimeter of the acetabulum.
- Developmental hip dysplasia may be unilateral or bilateral and includes subluxated or dislocated hips and malformed acetabula.
- The articulation between the head of the femur and the acetabulum form the hip joint.
- Ultrasonography provides visualization of the cartilage, hip stability and features of the acetabulum.
2Zoology
Any cup-shaped structure, especially a sucker.
Example sentencesExamples
- These muscles originate on a connective tissue layer that surrounds the arm musculature and extend down to converge on the sucker and insert on the outer connective tissue capsule of the acetabulum at the level of the sphincter muscle.
- Thus, to describe the mechanism of attachment, we must describe both how pressure can be reduced in the acetabulum and how a seal can be formed with the surface of attachment.
- There are moderate depressions in the lateral surfaces of the ilia posterior and dorsal to the acetabulum.
- The muscle volume has to go somewhere, so the circumference of the cup-shaped acetabulum has to increase, increasing the volume of the acetabular chamber.
- Immediately anterior to this buttress, a small, deep concavity is located along the anterodorsal margin of the acetabulum.
- Both the meridional muscle bundles and the circular muscle bundles of the acetabulum will, upon contraction, decrease the circumference and thereby increase the thickness of the acetabular wall.

Example sentencesExamples
- The most commonly used prostheses are metal femoral components with plastic acetabular cups.
- In addition, a series of circumferential muscle bundles are present in the acetabular wall.
- The transverse acetabular ligament connects the bony portions to complete the rim of the socket.
