APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hip joint capsule is formed by three major ligaments: the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments. The capsular ligaments run in a spiral fashion preventing hip extension and are surrounded by thick longitudinal fibers that provide additional stability in the lateral plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ligamentum teres (LT) consists of two bands that originate on the ischial and pubic sides of the acetabular notch and blend with the transverse acetabular ligament between these two attachment sites. The two bands insert on the fovea capitis of the femoral head1.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hip joint capsule and capsular ligaments The pubofemoral ligament prevents excess abduction and extension, ischiofemoral prevents excess extension, and the iliofemoral prevents hyperextension.
