Ligaments of the Pelvis - Many of the forces that pass through the joints of the pelvis are absorbed not through the articular surfaces but via a series of powerful ligaments. The sacroiliac joints are also supported by accessory ligaments. Accessory ligaments are extrinsic ligaments located at a distance from a joint. Although structurally separate, they function with the associated joint.
