The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The socket (called the acetabulum) is part of the pelvis. The ball (called the femoral head) is attached to the upper end of the thigh bone, and rests inside the socket.The labral cartilage structure surrounds the opening of the hip socket and joins seamlessly to the articular cartilage lining the hip socket.or the hip to last a lifetime, the ball and socket and cartilage structures all must work together like a well-oiled machine. When abnormal contact occurs between the ball of the hip and the rim of the hip socket, this condition is called femoral acetabular impingement or hip impingement.
