The Posterior Sacroiliac Ligament is a fibrous band that plays a crucial role in stabilizing the sacroiliac joint, which connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (part of the hip bone). This ligament is situated on the posterior side of the sacroiliac joint, contributing to the joint's overall structural integrity. Functionally, the posterior sacroiliac ligament helps limit excessive movement and provides support to the sacroiliac joint, preventing unwanted shear forces and rotations. It is part of a complex network of ligaments surrounding the sacroiliac joint, including the anterior sacroiliac ligament, interosseous sacroiliac ligament, and the iliolumbar ligament. Injury or inflammation of the posterior sacroiliac ligament can lead to sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a condition characterized by pain and discomfort in the lower back and buttocks. Trauma, pregnancy, arthritis, or biomechanical imbalances are common factors contributing to issues with the sacroiliac joint and its ligaments. Diagnosis of posterior sacroiliac ligament issues often involves a thorough physical examination, imaging studies, and sometimes diagnostic injections. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as physical therapy, exercises, and pain management to more invasive interventions like sacroiliac joint injections or surgical procedures in severe cases.
