| posterior meniscofemoral ligament | <anatomy> The band that passes posterior to the posterior cruciate ligament extending between the medial condyle of the femur and the posterior crus of the lateral meniscus.

Synonym: ligamentum sacrotuberale, ligamentum sacrotuberosum, posterior sacrosciatic ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior sternoclavicular ligament | <anatomy> A fibrous band that reinforces the sternoclavicular joint posteriorly. Synonym: ligamentum sternoclaviculare posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior talofibular ligament | <anatomy> The nearly horizontal fibrous band that extends from the posterior border of the talus to the malleolar fossa. Synonym: ligamentum talofibulare posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior talotibial ligament | <anatomy> The part of the medial or deltoid ligament that extends from the medial malleolus to the posterior process of the talus. 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) |
| posterior tibiotalar ligament | <anatomy> The part of the medial or deltoid ligament that extends from the medial malleolus to the posterior process of the talus.

| 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) |
