The head has an almost spherical joint surface. This is connected to the pelvic bones and thus forms the hip joint. In the middle of the head is the hip basket pit (Fovea capitis femoris). This cavity is the point of passage for a ligament (ligamentum capitis ossis femoris), which surrounds the artery supplying the femoral head. The head merges into the femoral neck at a slight angle.
