Hip joint (English)

The hip joint has several ligaments that play an important role in stabilizing the joint during various movements. The ligaments of the hip joint are divided into two groups: capsular and intracapsular. The capsular ligaments reinforce the joint capsule and include the iliofemoral, pubofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments. The intracapsular ligaments are situated inside of the joint capsule and include the transverse ligament of the acetabulum and ligament of the head of the femur.
