what does the ischiofemoral ligament of the hip consist of?
a thickened portion of the articular capsule
where does the ischiofemoral ligament of the hip extend?
from the ischial wall of the acetabulum to the neck of the femur
what does the ischiofemoral ligament of the hip function to do?
serves to reinforce the articular capsule
