Hip ligaments, artwork C013 / 4433
Hip ligaments. Computer artwork of a posterior view of the hip bones and ligaments (white). At centre the lumbar spine ends in the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone). Either side are the large ear-shaped fused hip bones of the pelvis. These articulate with the head of the femurs (thigh bones) to form the hip joints, with the pelvic girdle at lower centre. Here, the hip joints are mostly obscured by bands of strong fibrous tissue called ligaments, joining the femur and the pelvis bones. At left, only the ischiofemoral ligament is shown, with all three femoral ligaments at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of hip ligaments in stunning detail. From a posterior view, the artwork reveals the complexity of the hip bones and their connection to the lumbar spine, which culminates in the sacrum and coccyx at the center. The large ear-shaped fused hip bones of the pelvis are prominently displayed on either side, serving as vital components for articulating with the head of femurs. However, what truly captures attention are the bands of strong fibrous tissue known as ligaments that mostly obscure these crucial joints. These ligaments play a pivotal role in joining both femur and pelvic bones together, ensuring stability and mobility within our hips. On display here is a remarkable representation of various femoral ligaments alongside an isolated illustration showcasing only one specific type - ischiofemoral ligament. This visually striking image not only highlights anatomical structures but also emphasizes their importance within our musculoskeletal system. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying biology or osteology while providing medical professionals with an invaluable reference tool for diagnosing and treating conditions related to this area. With its meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both beauty and functionality found within our bodies' complex systems.
