Everything about The Anterior Longitudinal Ligament totally explained
The
anterior longitudinal ligament is a
ligament that runs down the anterior surface of the
spine. It traverses all of the
vertebral bodies and
intervertebral discs.
The ligament is thick and slightly more narrow over the vertebral bodies and thinner but slightly wider over the intervertebral discs which is much less pronounced that that seen in the
posterior longitudinal ligament. The ligament actually has three layers: superficial, intermediate and deep. The superficial layer traverses 3 – 4 vertebrae, the intermediate layer covers 2 – 3 and the deep layer is only between individual vertebrae.
