Document Summary

3 important ligaments to help stabilize hip joint. Where it starts is is the asis, comes down onto inner trochanteric line. Originates on labrum of the acetabulum and comes down and inserts on the neck of the femur. Pubofemoral ligament, inserts on inner trochanteric line too. Dancers over the years get into this position, gradually stretching pubofemoral ligament. If the(cid:455) stop da(cid:374)(cid:272)i(cid:374)g, (cid:449)he(cid:374) the(cid:455)(cid:396)e old, (cid:449)he(cid:374) a liga(cid:373)e(cid:374)t is st(cid:396)et(cid:272)hed, it"s st(cid:396)et(cid:272)hed fo(cid:396) good. So ex professional dancers might need hip replacements. With stretching of this ligament, there more joint play, so they might have a wear and tear phenomenon so might need hip replacement. Acetabulum, ball and socket joint is really deeper. Normal angle of neck and shaft is 135 degrees.
