What are the 2 primary ligaments of the hip? what areas do they form? What movement do they oppose?
Sacrispinous ligament > greater sciatic foramen

Sacrotuberous ligament > lesser sciatic foramin (along with sacrospinous ligament)

The oppose the inferior sacrum from rotating superiorly at the sacro-iliac joint.
What does the greater sciatic foramen transmit between?
between pelvis and gluteal area
What does the lesser sciatic foramen transmit between?
between gluteal area and perineum
What does the sacrospinous attach to?
anterior surface of sacrum & coccyx > ischial spine
What does the sacrotuberous attach to?
lateral amrgin of sacrum & coccyx, PSIS & PIIS > ischial tuberosity

Describe the Iliofemoral ligament:

location
attachments
role
