The head of the femur fits into the acetabulum, where it is held firmly by a thick capsule, which is divided into thickened layers forming the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments. (nuh.com.sg)
During hip flexion, the femoral head translates up and down (inferior) as the glute maximus eccentrically pulls and tensions the iliofemoral, pubofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments. (fit-pro.com)

Inside of the articular capsule, the ligament of the head of the femur (ligamentum teres) spans between the acetabulum and femoral head. (knowlative.com)
In the hip-joint, on the contrary, the head of the femur is closely fitted to the acetabulum for an area extending over nearly half a sphere, and at the margin of the bony cup it is still more closely embraced by the glenoidal labrum, so that the head of the femur is held in its place by that ligament even when the fibers of the capsule have been quite divided. (knowlative.com)
Holding the head of the femur in the acetabulum are ligaments surrounding it on all sides, connective tissue that not only prevents the femoral head from popping out of the joint, but also restricts the range of motion of the leg in the hip. (thehealthboard.com)
Syndesmoses with shorter fibers have little or no allowed "give" (movement), for example, the ligament connecting the distal ends of the fibula and tibia. (pharmacy180.com)
After crossing the joint, the fibers of the ischiofemoral ligament begin to taper, twisting forward over the neck of the femur. (thehealthboard.com)

Ligaments are thick bundles of fibers that connect bones together. (ortoped.bg)
Capsule9
The pubofemoral ligament (or pubocapsular ligament[citation needed]) is a ligament which reinforces the inferior and anterior portions of the joint capsule of the hip joint. (wikipedia.org)
The hip joint is covered by a capsule blended with three strong ligaments: iliofemoral or Y ligament, which resists extension, the ischiofemoral ligament, which resists extension and internal rotation, and the pubofemoral ligament, which resists abduction. (fit-pro.com)
The hip joint is encircled with ligaments to provide stability to the hip by forming a dense and fibrous structure around the joint capsule. (drchrisevensen.com)
distally, it fuses with the capsule and the deep surface of the vertical bundle of the iliofemoral ligament. (auladeanatomia.com)
The surrounding articular capsule is strong, with several thickened areas forming intrinsic ligaments. (knowlative.com)
The joint is surrounded by the joint capsule along with ligaments such as the iliofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, ischiofemoral ligament, ligament of the head of the femur, and the circular layer. (miraiclinic.pl)

Because of this, the medial collateral ligament of the knee in humans may contain a few muscle fibres as an atavistic variation. (iiab.me)
Femoral head2
During hip extension, the femoral head translates back and up as the glute maximus creates a backward (concentrically contracts) tensioning the iliofemoral ligaments, hip flexors eccentrically contracts. (fit-pro.com)
Ischiofemoral ligament damage may be reported when a fracture occurs near the femoral head. (thehealthboard.com)

Adductor2
During hip abduction, the femur outwardly translates and the movement is restrained by the adductors (adductor magnus and brevis primarily) as the pubiofemoral ligament is tensioned. (fit-pro.com)
Embryologically and phylogenically, the ligament represents the distal portion of the tendon of adductor magnus muscle. (cloudfront.net)
