The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint, where the femur (thigh bone) fits into the pelvic socket (acetabulum), allowing smooth movement and stability.

Main Ligaments:

🔹 Anterior (Front):

• Pubofemoral Ligament – Prevents excessive hip extension & abduction.
• Iliofemoral Ligament – The strongest ligament, supports upright posture.

🔹 Posterior (Back):

• Ischiofemoral Ligament – Prevents excessive inward rotation of the hip.

✔ These ligaments provide stability while allowing movement!
