Introduction[edit | edit source]
The hip joint is reinforced by three primary fibrous capsular ligaments, including the ischiofemoral ligament, which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the joint. [1]This ligament, along with the iliofemoral and pubofemoral ligaments, contributes to the overall stability and function of the hip joint.
Attachments[edit | edit source]
The ischiofemoral ligament is the weakest of the three hip ligaments and consists of a triangular band of fibers that attach to the ischium behind the acetabulum and the base of the greater trochanter.
Function[edit | edit source]
The ischiofemoral ligament restricts internal rotation of the hip joint, particularly in relation to hip flexion angles. Studies have shown that this ligament, along with the iliofemoral ligament, plays a significant role in preventing excessive internal hip rotation and maintaining joint stability.[2]
Clinical Relevance[edit | edit source]
Injuries to the ischiofemoral ligament can occur in dislocations, leading to lesions of the foveal artery and potentially resulting in osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
