The acetabular fossa is the non-articular depressed region at the centre of the floor of the acetabulum. It is surrounded by the articular lunate surface.^[1]^: 1368^[2] The floor of the fossa is formed mostly by the ischium;^[2] it is rough^[1]^: 1354 and thin (often to the point of transparency). The space of the fossa is continuous inferiorly with the acetabular notch.^[2]

The fossa does not contain any cartilage.^[1]^: 1368 It is occupied by the ligament of head of femur,^[3]^{[better source needed]} and by fibroelastic adipose tissue^[4]^[1]^: 1368 (within which the acetabular branch of the obturator artery ramifies^[1]^: 1250) that is mostly lined with synovial membrane.^[1]^: 1368 The acetabular "fat pad" is thought to contain abundant proprioceptive nerve endings that sense compression of the fat pad or its displacement through the acetabular notch, producing proprioceptive information.^[4]
