The anterior sacrococcygeal ligament or ventral sacrococcygeal ligament consists of a few irregular fibers, which descend from the anterior surface of the sacrum to the front of the coccyx, blending with the periosteum.¹

This short² ligament forms the continuation of the anterior longitudinal ligament and stretches over the sacrococcygeal symphysis.³⁴⁵
