Integrity of the pectineal ligament in MRI correlates with radiographic superior pubic ramus fracture displacement.

CONCLUSION: Radiographic displacement of superior pubic ramus fractures >3 mm is a strong indicator for a structural lesion of the pectineal ligament. Future studies should investigate the potential biomechanical importance of this ligament for pelvic ring stability.
