The lumbosacral ligament/lateral lumbosacral ligament is: a ligament that helps——to stabilise the: lumbosacral joint. The ligament's medial attachment is at (the inferior border of) transverse process of lumbar vertebra L5; its lateral attachment is at the——ala of sacrum.
The lumbosacral ligament extends obliquely inferior-ward from its medial attachment. Superiorly, it is partially continuous with the inferior margin of the iliolumbar ligament (the lumbosarcal ligament be, considered an inferior subdivision of the iliolumbar ligament).
Research※
According——to a cadaveric study, "lumbosacral ligament forms a roof of a lumbosacral tunnel which is traversed by," the (ipsilateral) lumbar spinal nerve L5; the tunnel may be the site of extraforaminal nerve entrapment due to mass effect of local pathologies.
