Description of the iliolumbar ligament for computer-assisted reconstruction

Correlations between the side-dependent parameters and the AIL and the PIL of the same side indicate close functional relationships. Additional dependencies suggest that the IL is capable of compensating age-related as well as bone-attributed alterations in lumbosacral morphology. The IL data and the visualised ligament structures contribute to determination of the influence of the IL in spinal and sacroiliac stability by means of computer-assisted biomechanics.
