Unilateral ossification of Sacrotuberous ligament: Case Report

Dr. Prerna Jagdish, Dr. R. K. Ashoka, Dr. Sumit Kumar

Abstract :

The phenomenon of calcification in various soft tissue elements in the musculoskeletal system is well known. In many cases, calcification is seen as late sequelae of normal damage repair process. This calcification process may affect various tissues such as muscle and cartilage; and synovium. As a consequence of ossification of sacrotuberous ligament, a restriction of anatomical space of lesser sciatic foramen is expected. This will lead to lesser foramen becoming a potential site for compression ofneurovascular structures traversing through this area.
