“…The sacrotuberous ligament (STL) originates from the posterior superior iliac spine, the lower part of the sacrum, and the upper part of the lateral margin of the coccyx, extending obliquely downward and outward. It crosses behind the sacrospinous ligament and terminates at the medial margin of the ischial tuberosity 1,2 . The STL is critical in stabilizing the pelvis, which is a crucial structure for maintaining the stability of the pelvic ring 3–6 …”

Ossification of the sacrotuberous ligament is a rare occurrence in soft tissue, with only 15 cases reported in the past few decades. We reported two cases of bilateral ossification in sacrotuberous ligaments and provided a concise review of the literature on this pathology. Clinical data, radiographic outcomes, and diagnostic and treatment details were obtained. This study aimed to summarize this disease's characteristics and investigate its pathogenesis through a review of literature from the last thirty years. This condition is often incidentally confirmed in elderly males via imagiological examination or gross anatomy and presents a low morbidity rate. Its pathogenesis may be related to stress concentration, excessive intake of element ions, injury repair, and improper operative technique. The majority of patients may not exhibit any clinical symptoms or signs and typically do not require medical interventions. It may be complicated with pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome. The long‐term effects of surgical resection and the most effective treatment approach remain areas for further research.
