Hip ligaments, artwork C013 / 4432

Hip ligaments. Computer artwork of an anterior 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. The two ligaments on each side here are the iliofemoral ligament (upper) and the pubofemoral ligament (lower)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of hip ligaments in stunning detail. In this computer artwork, we are presented with an anterior view of the hip bones and their corresponding ligaments, depicted in a striking white hue. At the center of the image, we observe the lumbar spine gracefully culminating into the sacrum and coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone. Flanking either side are the remarkable ear-shaped fused hip bones that form part of our pelvis. These bones artfully articulate with the head of our femurs to create our vital hip joints. However, these joints remain mostly concealed by robust bands of fibrous tissue called ligaments. In this particular illustration, two prominent ligaments take center stage: The iliofemoral ligament situated above and its counterpart below known as pubofemoral ligament. These essential connective tissues serve to join both femur and pelvic bones together securely. The photograph not only highlights these crucial anatomical structures but also emphasizes their importance within our musculoskeletal system. It offers a glimpse into how our hips function seamlessly to support movement while maintaining stability. With its blend of scientific accuracy and artistic flair, this visually captivating artwork provides a unique perspective on human anatomy – inviting us to marvel at nature's exquisite design within ourselves.
