| posterior sacrosciatic ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that passes from the ischial tuberosity to the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, transforming the scialic notch to a large scialic foramen, which is then further subdivided by the sacrospinous ligament. Synonym: ligamentum sacrotuberale, ligamentum sacrotuberosum, posterior sacrosciatic ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: pars tibiotalaris posterior ligamenti medialis, ligamentum talotibiale posterius, posterior talotibial ligament, posterior tibiotalar part of deltoid ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior tibiofibular ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band that horizontally crosses the posterior aspect of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, contributing the posterior "wall" of the "socket" which receives the trochlea of the talus. Synonym: ligamentum tibiofibulare posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superficial posterior sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the supraspinal ligament from the sacrum to the coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius superficiale, superficial posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep posterior sacrococcygeal ligament | <anatomy> The continuation of the posterior longitudinal ligament uniting the sacrum and coccyx. Synonym: ligamentum sacrococcygeum posterius profundum, deep posterior sacrococcygeal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament | Ossification or calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spinal column. The main symptoms arise from myelopathy of various degrees of severity, usually spinal cord compression caused by stenosis of the spinal canal. It is very common in the japanese but relatively less common in caucasians. It is frequently, but not exclusively, located at the level of the cervical spine. It is often associated with anterior ankylosing hyperostosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior cervical intertransversarii muscles | Origin, anterior tubercle of cervical transverse process; insertion, anterior tubercle of next superior transverse process; action, abducts cervical vertebrae; nerve supply, ventral branch of cervical nerves. Synonym: musculi intertransversarii anteriores cervicis, anterior cervical intertransverse muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: musculi intertransversarii anteriores cervicis, anterior cervical intertransverse muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cervical lymph nodes | The group of lymph nodes located in the anterior region of the neck, divided into superficial and deep groups. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
