Hip ligaments, artwork C013 / 4434
Hip ligaments. Computer artwork of a posterior oblique view of the hip bones and ligaments (white). At upper right 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, the ischiofemoral ligament is shown, with the other femoral ligaments removed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of hip ligaments in stunning detail. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a posterior oblique view of the hip bones and ligaments, depicted in striking white against a dark background. At the upper right corner, we can observe the lumbar spine gracefully merging into the sacrum and coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone. The focal point of this image lies on either side where the large ear-shaped fused hip bones of the pelvis come into play. These remarkable structures articulate seamlessly with the head of our thigh bones, forming what is commonly referred to as our hip joints. However, these joints remain mostly concealed by bands of strong fibrous tissue called ligaments that connect both femur and pelvis bones. On display at left is one such ligament -the ischiofemoral ligament- while other femoral ligaments have been removed for clarity purposes. This visually striking representation offers an invaluable insight into our musculoskeletal system's complexity and highlights how crucial these ligaments are for maintaining healthy hips. From behind, we gain an enhanced understanding of their role within our bodies' biomechanics. With its comprehensive depiction encompassing various anatomical elements such as pelvic girdle, pubis bone, ilium bone among others; this artwork serves as a valuable resource for professionals in fields like biology or osteology seeking to deepen their knowledge about human anatomy specifically related to hips and lower limbs.
