Transverse Ligament Failure

Curious about what happens when an atlantodental interspace (ADI) grows from 5 mm on a supine scan to 11 mm when upright? In this video, Dr. Chris Centeno—one of the founders of interventional orthobiologics at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic—walks you through a patient case where flexion-extension imaging revealed a significant transverse ligament tear, changing the treatment plan from a PICL procedure to potential surgery. Learn how positional imaging can uncover hidden instability, why certain injuries may require fusion instead of regenerative therapies, and the importance of carefully selecting the right treatment approach. 🔔 If you find this content helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe to stay informed.    / @centenohome   To schedule a telemedicine or in-person visit, call +1-303-429-6448 or email Isis at [email protected].
