Annular ligament syndrome (ALS) is thickening of the palmar or plantar annular ligament (PAL) which may or may not also involve the digital sheath and other associated structures. ALS can be primary or secondary.esmotomy of the annular ligament will also reduce constriction, allowing healing and drainage and thus aiding return to soundness if the primary pathology can be controlled. If adhesions are suspected, a larger incision should be made so as to grant better visualisation.
