Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Iliofemoral ligament-This is a Y-shaped ligament that connects the pelvis to the femoral head at the front of the joint. It helps in limiting over-extension of the hip.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL): The TFL, along with the gluteus medius and minimus, is key for stabilizing the pelvis when standing on one leg. It also assists in hip flexion, internal rotation and abduction. The TFL, along with the gluteus maximus, attaches to the IT band.
Detailed explanation-3: -The anterior fibres of glutei minimus and medius are the principal muscles responsible for internal rotation of the hip joint. These muscles are assisted by the tensor fasciae latae and most adductor muscles.
