ligamentous stability

Ligamentous stability refers to how well the ligaments—strong, fibrous tissues connecting bones—maintain the stability of a joint. These ligaments guide movement, limit excessive motion, and keep the bones properly aligned. When ligaments are healthy, they provide support and prevent injuries like dislocations or excessive stretching. If ligaments are damaged or torn, the joint may become loose, unstable, and more prone to further injury. In essence, ligamentous stability is vital for safe, controlled joint movement and overall joint integrity.
