The ischiofemoral ligament (ischiocapsular ligament or ischiocapsular band) consists of a triangular band of strong fibers on the posterior side of the hip joint. [1] It is one of the four ligaments that reinforce the hip joint.
The fibers of the ischiocapsular ligament attach both into the joint capsule and onto the intertrochanteric line. Clinical significance. Intertrochantric fractures
A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It also connects flight feathers to bones, in dinosaurs and birds. All 30,000 species of amniotes (land animals with internal bones) have ligaments. It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, [1] fibrous ligament, or true ligament.
sacrospinous ligament: The pudendal nerve travels close to the ischial spine. [3] Clinical significance
The dorsal ligaments consist of three transverse bands: one connects the first with the second cuneiform, another the second with the third cuneiform, and another the third cuneiform with the cuboid. Plantar ligaments
The iliofemoral ligament is a thick and very tough triangular capsular ligament of the hip joint situated anterior to this joint. It attaches superiorly at the inferior portion of the anterior inferior iliac spine and adjacent portion of the margin of the acetabulum ; it attaches inferiorly at the intertrochanteric line .
The intra-articular ligament of head of rib [1] is a ligament of the articulation of head of rib [3] situated within the joint capsule. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] It takes the shape of a short, flat band. [ 4 ] It joins the crest of head of rib (between the superior costal articular facet and inferior costal articular facet [ 4 ] [ 2 ] - thus dividing the ...
The iliopectineal arch thus forms a septum which subdivides the space deep to the inguinal ligament into a lateral muscular lacuna and a medial vascular lacuna. When a psoas minor muscle is present, its tendon of insertion blends with the iliopectineal arch It is sometimes transected in treatment of femoral nerve entrapment. [2]
