Ligaments

  • Extremely strong/tough bands of fibrous material comprised mainly of Collagen (protein)
  • They are non-elastic so once stretched, such as after dislocation, they will remain in that state
  • Designed to stabilise and strengthen joints (moveable joints)
  • Prevent unwanted movement in unintended planes or directions
