The cruciate ligament of the atlas (cruciform ligament) is a cross-shaped (thus the name) ligament in the neck forming part of the atlanto-axial joint. It consists of the transverse ligament of atlas, a superior longitudinal band, and an inferior longitudinal band.

2024年1月12日 · The cruciate ligament of the atlas (also known as the cruciform ligament) is an important ligamentous complex that holds the posterior dens of C2 in articulation at the median atlantoaxial joint. It lies behind a large synovial bursa (surrounded by loose fibrous capsule) and consists of two bands:

The cruciform ligament of atlas (cruciate may substitute for cruciform) is a cruciate ligament in the neck forming part of the atlanto-axial joint. The ligament is named as such because it is in the shape of a cross. It consists of two bands: Longitudinal band. Transverse band. Atlas osteology.

2023年10月30日 · There are several ligaments securing the median atlantoaxial joint. The main ligaments of the joint connect the atlas to the axis, these ligaments are collectively known as the cruciform ligament complex.

Cruciate ligaments occur in the knee of humans and other bipedal animals and the corresponding stifle of quadrupedal animals, and in the neck, fingers, and foot. The cruciate ligaments of the knee are the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

The cruciform ligament, or cruciate ligament of atlas, as the name suggests, is cross-shaped, and is made up of the transverse ligament of the atlas and the longitudinal bands.

2024年8月20日 · there are a number of ligaments which attach the axis to the occipital bone including the tectorial membrane, the paired alar ligaments, median apical ligament and the longitudinal parts of the cruciform ligaments

CRUCIFORM LIGAMENT. The cruciform ligament is a cross-shaped ligament-centered posterior to the dens that consists of a superior and inferior longitudinal band and a bilateral transverse band [Figures 1-3]. This ligament holds the C2 dens in close proximity with the anterior arch of C1, thus maintaining the integrity of the atlantoaxial joint ...

The transverse ligament divides the ring of the atlas into two unequal parts: of these, the posterior and larger serves for the transmission of the medulla spinalis and its membranes and the accessory nerves; the anterior and smaller contains the odontoid process.
