The Sacrospinous Ligament is a strong, fibrous band that extends from the ischial spine, a bony prominence in the pelvis, to the sacrum. In orthopaedics, the sacrospinous ligament is a significant anatomical structure, contributing to the stability of the pelvic region. This ligament is part of the intricate network of pelvic ligaments and plays a role in supporting pelvic organs and maintaining the integrity of the pelvic floor. Its attachment to the sacrum and ischial spine forms a triangular shape, providing reinforcement to the posterior pelvic wall. Orthopedic assessments may involve the sacrospinous ligament when evaluating pelvic stability and addressing conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse. Injury or dysfunction of this ligament can contribute to pelvic floor disorders, leading to symptoms like pain, discomfort, or changes in bowel and bladder function. Treatment approaches for issues related to the sacrospinous ligament may include conservative measures such as physical therapy for pelvic floor strengthening, or in some cases, surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct the ligament. Understanding the role of the sacrospinous ligament is essential in orthopaedics for comprehensive evaluation and management of pelvic conditions.
