A member asked:
What can cause your apical ligament tear in your cervical spine if you were never in an accident or had any other neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old injury: It would be unlikely to have a tear like that without some previous injury. At 27, the injury could have been decades ago, but recently discovered. Calcification of injuries is more common in those over 30, so the injury at your age is difficult to "date."
