MRI study of post-traumatic incompetence of posterior ligamentous complex: importance of the supraspinous ligament. Prospective study of 74 traumatic fractures

摘要

PurposePosterior ligamentous complex (PLC) components have an orderly sequence of rupture. However, it is still unclear how many structures have to be damaged to consider it disrupted. We aim to establish imaging criteria, which can define the complex as competent or incompetent.
