Description[edit | edit source]
Anterior sacroiliac ligament (ASL) is comprised of many thin strands and forms from a thickened part of the anterior joint capsule[1][2] . It is a smooth sheet of dense connective tissue stretching between the ventral surfaces of the sacral alar and ilium[1]. It is the thinnest sacroiliac joint ligament[2] and is larger in males[1].
Attachments[edit | edit source]
It runs from the iliac ala, anterior to the auricular surface, to the sacrum's pelvic surface[3].
Function[edit | edit source]
The ASL has very little effect on pelvic stabilityand compared to the posterior sacroiliac ligament, it has little influence on SIJ mobility[4].
Assessment[edit | edit source]
There are various provocation tests for the sacroiliac joint but none of them isolate the anterior sacroiliac joint ligament.
