Tissue connecting bone to bone (8)

I believe the answer is:

ligament

(Other definitions for ligament that I've seen before include "Fibrous tissue joining bones or cartilage" , "Tough, bone-linking tissue" , "Band of tissue joining bones" , "Fibrous connective tissue" , "Tough fibrous tissue in the body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
