Ischiofemoral Ligament
By: Tim Barclay, PhD
Medically reviewed by: Stephanie Curreli, MD, PhD
Last Updated: Jun 11, 2015
The ischiofemoral ligament is made up of a band of strong fibers that originate on the ischium just behind the acetabulum. These fibers blend with the fibers of the joint capsule of the hip. The acetabulum is a cup-shaped cavity in which the three parts of the coxal bone fuse.
