Detailed explanation-1: -The iliofemoral ligament is the strongest ligament in the body and attaches the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) to the intertrochanteric crest of the femur. The pubofemoral ligament prevents excess abduction and extension, ischiofemoral prevents excess extension, and the iliofemoral prevents hyperextension.

Detailed explanation-2: -The iliofemoral ligament (ILFL) is the strongest and most important hip capsular ligament, located anteriorly and originating from just below the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS). It consists of two limbs: the medial limb is vertically oriented, while the lateral arm is oriented more obliquely.
