Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a condition characterized by the calcification or hardening of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs along the back of the vertebral bodies in the spinal column. This condition can lead to spinal canal narrowing and compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots, potentially resulting in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. OPLL is more common in certain populations, particularly in East Asian individuals, and may be associated with genetic factors. Treatment options can vary from conservative management to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of symptoms and neurological involvement.

Where is the wrisberg ligament located?
The ligament of Wrisberg is in the knee. It runs from the medial femoral condyle behind the posterior cruciate ligament to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. If the ligament runs in front of the posterior cruciate ligament, it is a ligament of Humphries.
What is the name of the ligament located on the posterior side of the vertebral?
The ligament located on the posterior side of the vertebral column is called the ligamentum flavum.
Is the Wrisberg a ligament in the back of the knee?
Yes, it's full name is the "posterior meniscofemoral ligament".
What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?
Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.
What ligaments make up the deltoid ligament?
The deltoid ligament is composed of four ligaments: anterior tibiotalar ligament, tibiocalcaneal ligament, posterior tibiotalar ligament, and tibionavicular ligament. These ligaments provide stability to the inner side of the ankle joint.
What are the name of the surrounding ligaments of the knee?
Patellar ligament (anterior). Two popliteal ligaments (posterior). Anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (inside joint capsule). Tibial collateral ligament (medial). Fibular collateral ligament (lateral).
What is partial ossification of the posterior disc space of C7T1?
42 kilananos squared
How do you spell cruciate ligament?
That is the correct spelling of "cruciate ligament." The ligaments of the knee include: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) medial collateral ligament (MCL) fibular (lateral) collateral ligament (LCL)
What are the knee ligaments name's?
Medial Collateral Ligament - Liimits sideways motion Lateral Collateral Ligament - Also limits sideways motion Anterior Cruciate Ligament - Limits rotation and forward motion of the tibia. Posterior Cruciate ligament - limits the backwards motion of the knee. Patellar Ligament - attaches the kneecap to the tibia
What sort of injury's could lead to this in sport?
The posterior /anterior cruciate ligament injury may happen
What movement does the Ulnar collateral ligament prevent?
There are two cruciate ligaments. The posterior cruciate ligament is responsible for the knee being able to lock into position when fully extended. It prevents forces pushing the tibia posterior to the femur. The anterior cruciate ligament prevents movement in the opposite direction, i.e. gives a limit to how much we can flex our knee. It is most commonly injured.
Which cruciate ligament is thinner and weaker?
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is thinner and Weaker than the Posterior Cruciate ligament. Both ligaments are found in the Knee as they criss cross to make an "X" shape holding the femur and the Tibia together. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is often injured in sports activities.
