The iliofemoral ligament is a main link between the two. Ligaments arenât meant to stretch but they can. If enough pressure is exerted on a ligament it can become overstretched or tear from poor mechanics or a blunt force injury like a torn acl in football. But ligaments can also become overstretched from poor posture.
The iliofemoral ligament essentially ties the femur bone into the pelvis and is considered to be the strongest ligament in the whole body. Our bones hold us up and our muscles move us. Ligaments hold the bones together. For the bones to hold us up they generally stack one on top of the other transferring weight up and down through the skeleton.
