Split ligaments are two leafy branches or one thin trunk emerging from one node of the cervical spine and diverging in different directions, in contrast to fused ones, when they emerge from one skeletal element. Such a node can split into two or three split branches. This type of fusion is formed in humans due to a disruption in the normal development of connective tissue, which occurs, for example, in chronic diseases.
Ligaments formed in early childhood may not cause any mobility problems
