Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is The capsule of the hip joint is large (given the large range of motion)and very strong.It is attached to the complete periphery of the acetabulum proximally,and to the intertrochanteric ridge and line,thus encompassing the head and neck of the femur up to,but not including,the trochanters.Fibers of the capsule run in several directions,tightening upon distraction.
