Anatomical and Radiological Study of Adult Human Sacrotuberous Ligament and Its Relation to the Sacroiliac Joint
Marwa Mohammed Soliman Mohammed;
Abstract
The present study was aiming to give a detailed anatomical and radiological description of the sacrotuberous ligament (STL) and its relation to low back pain (LBP) and sacroiliitis.
In the cadaveric study, 40 adult male hip, gluteal and upper thigh specimens were used. 20 of them were formalin fixed and the other 20 were fresh frozen specimens. They were dissected to fully expose the STL and its related structures. The ligament was divided into 3 limbs: 2 Attached limbs: one extending from posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) to the back of S3 and measured 20mm-35mm in formalin fixed specimens and from 32.9mm-44mm in fresh frozen specimens, and the other one was extending from the back of S3 to the back of S5 and the back of the coccyx and measured 28.1mm-38.4mm in formalin fixed specimens and from 35.2mm-45mm in fresh frozen
