Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL) Injury

Introduction: The Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL) is a key spinal structure that runs along the back (posterior) of the vertebral bodies inside the spinal canal, helping to stabilize the spine and limit excessive spinal flexion. An injury to the PLL can result from trauma, repetitive stress, or degenerative changes, and may contribute to spinal instability,…

It extends from the cervical spine to the sacrum, providing support and stability to the spine while preventing excessive spinal flexion. The PLL also helps protect the spinal cord and nerves….
