Skeleton
Looks like
One half of the pelvic ring: one hip bone (ilium, ischium, pubis) with its joint to the sacrum.
What it does
Transfers weight from the spine to one leg through the hip socket.
Keeping it well
Hip and groin pain on walking may come from the hip joint or pelvis; inability to bear weight after a fall needs an X-ray.
