APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ischiofemoral ligament : It attaches to the posterior surface of the acetabular rim and labrum and courses circumferentially around the joint to its insertion on the anterior aspect of the femur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ligamentum teres: This is a small ligament that extends from the tip of the femoral head to the acetabulum. Although it has no role in hip movement, it does have a small artery within that supplies blood to a part of the femoral head.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ligamentum teres artery descends from the posterior branch of the obturator artery and attaches at the fovea. This artery is commonly disrupted with dislocations. It is the main blood supply to the femoral head in children.

Detailed explanation-4: -The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral head with the acetabulum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hip also contains a ligament known as the ligamentum teres, which connects the femoral head to the acetabulum.
