Photographs of the iliofemoral ligament (ILFL). a A black dotted line shows the outline of the ILFL. The ILFL consists of a lateral arm (LA) and a medial arm (MA). b The photograph shows the anterior hip capsule after removal of the thin fibres and the pubofemoral ligament. The ILFL and its insertions can be observed clearly. The white arrows show the intertrochanteric line, which includes the distal footprints of the LA and MA.
