Evidence boundary

The question uses “pelvic bones” in the wording of the Visible Body instructor manual. The direct articular relationship is specifically between the femoral head and the acetabulum of a hip bone. This answer distinguishes that joint surface from the wider pelvis and from the neighboring sacroiliac and pubic articulations.
