Ischiocapsular ligament

The ischiocapsular ligament is the connection between the ischium and the capsule of the hip joint. It plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the hip joint and ensuring proper function of the leg.

The ischiocapsular ligament consists of two parts: the ischial process and the capsule of the hip joint. The ischial process is part of the ischium and passes through the capsule of the hip joint to form a ligament. The hip capsule is the membrane that surrounds the hip joint and protects it from injury.

The functions of the ischiocapsular ligament include:

1. Ensuring stability of the hip joint
2. Maintaining correct hip position while walking and running
3. Participation in the movement of the hip joint when performing various movements

Damage to the ischiocapsular ligament can lead to a variety of problems such as pain, limited mobility, hip instability, and even disability. However, thanks to modern treatments such as arthroscopy and ligament reconstruction, many patients can regain their mobility and return to normal life.

To maintain the health of the ischiocapsular ligament, you need to monitor your posture, correctly distribute the load on the hip joint, engage in physical exercise and avoid injuries. If you are experiencing pain or other symptoms related to the ischiocapsular ligament, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
