- Source: Transverse acetabular ligament
The transverse acetabular ligament (transverse ligament or Tunstall's ligament) bridges the acetabular notch, creating the a foramen (through which blood vessels and nerves pass into the joint cavity). The ligament is one of the sites of attachment of the ligament of head of femur.: 789
Some sources consider the transverse acetabular ligament as the part of the acetabular labrum over the acetabular notch,: 786 while another states that the labrum attaches onto the ligament.
