Sciatic nerve entrapment can occur as post-operative complication of perineal hernia repair when sacrotuberous ligament is incorporated during hernia deficit closure. This results in sciatic sensory loss and paralysis of the hind leg. This study investigated the spatial relationship of sciatic nerve and sacrotuberous ligament and their surface topographic projection of 68 cadavers (29 Beagles a...

The present study describes the topography and morphometry of a unilateral ossified sacrotuberous ligament. It aims to discuss its anatomical, radiological and clinical implications. The pudendal nerve, internal pudendal artery, nerve to obturator internus and coccygeal branch of inferior gluteal artery are all-important structures near sacrotuberous ligament. An ossified sacrotuberous ligament...

A bony projection from posterior superior iliac spine from a right male hip bone out of 100 hip bones was observed. Its incidence was 1%. The study was carried out in the department of anatomy CSM Medical University, Lucknow, UP, India. This might have produced when sacrotuberous ligament is excessively used resulting from change in centre of gravity during weight transmission through sacrum. T...

BACKGROUND The sacroiliac joint is a widely described source of low back pain. Therapeutic approaches to relieve pain include the application of pelvic belts. However, the effects of pelvic belts on sacroiliac joint ligaments as potential pain generators are mostly unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of pelvic belts on ligament load by means of a computer mod...

On examination, he had increased tone in all the four limbs with power of 4/5, bilateral absent biceps, exaggerated knee reflexes, ankle cl...

Sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) is the largest axial joint and is considered as a bottom joint of spinal column relating to the hip bones. It is a diarthroidial joint consisting of two types of articulation: (1) an antero-inferior synovial joint between the C-shaped auricular surfaces of the sacrum and ilium and (2) a postero-superior syndesmosis situated between the interosseous surfaces of the ilium ...
