Posterior Longitudinal Ligament is one of the three more important ligaments that contribute to stability in the spine. It runs along the posterior aspect of the vertebral body inside the vertebral canal from the body of the axis to the sacrum. • Composed of longitudinal fibers that are denser than the anterior longitudinal ligament. • Denser fibers are deeper and span one vertebra while superficial fibers span three to four. • Superficial layer is a continuation of tectorial membrane at the axis. • Deep layer is a continuation of cruciform ligament at the atlas. • Fibers are wider at the intervertebral spaces and are more adherent to the annulus fibrosus of intervertebral discs than to vertebral body where they are thinner. • This phenomenon is more visible in posterior longitudinal ligament than in the anterior longitudinal ligament. The posterior longitudinal ligament is much thinner than the anterior longitudinal ligament, which is significant for the pathophysiology of disc herniations occurring posterolateral. • • Dr Donald A Ozello DC of Championship Chiropractic in Las Vegas, NV Web Site: http://www.championshipchiropractic.com/ Blog: https://www.championshipchiropractic....
