Margo acetabuli

Definition

Antoine Micheau, Anne-Sophie Emeric

The acetabular margin is a prominent, irregular ridge that borders the acetabulum. It is thick and solid in its upper part and serves as an attachment for the acetabular labrum, which reduces its opening and deepens the surface for the formation of the hip joint. .
