Dura Ligament Dorsolateral

Dorsolateral dura mater ligament (lat. l. dorsolateralia durae matris) - paired ligaments located on the sides of the dura mater. They connect the upper edge of the petrous part of the temporal bone with the transverse process of the atlas.

These ligaments limit the mobility of the head in the frontal plane, preventing excessive extension and flexion. In addition, they strengthen the connection between the skull and the spine, providing protection for the spinal cord in the event of injury. Damage to the ligament can cause this joint to become unstable and lead to life-threatening complications.

The Dorsolateral ligament of the dura mater (L. Dorsolateralis durae matri) is the connection of the pelvic bones and the round ligament with the strong muscles of the hip joint. With its help, movement is carried out in the hip joint when raising and lowering the legs, as well as when rotating the pelvis. It consists of the transverse patellar ligament, which is a thick band of fibrous connective tissue that runs across the posterior surface of the patellofemoral ligament.
