The pubofemoral ligament (or pubocapsular ligamentScript error: No such module "Unsubst".) is a ligament which reinforces the inferior and anterior portions of the joint capsule of the hip joint. The ligament attaches superiorly at the superior ramus of pubis, and the iliopubic eminence; it attaches inferiorly at the inferior portion of the intertrochanteric line (here blending with the inferior band of iliofemoral ligament). The psoas bursa intervenes between the ligament and joint capsule.[1]
The ligament resists hyper-abduction of the hip joint.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
