Well, I'm not sure if this is right, but medterms.com says:

Definition of Acetabular

Acetabular: Pertaining to the acetabulum, the cup-shaped socket of the hip joint which is a key feature of the pelvis. The head (upper end) of the femur (the thighbone) fits into the acetabulum and articulates with it, forming a ball-and-socket joint.

The acetabulum is not just cup-shaped. The word "acetabulum" in Latin means cup, a vinegar cup.

I believe acetabulaire is referring to the acetabulum, which is where the head of the femur articulates with the pelvis. I am not a native speaker of French but I believe this is what it is and it seems to fit in with the context of the article since the lumbar spine also articulates with the pelvis. I hope I got this right for you.
