Laceration of the fascial layers in the broad and Mackenrodt ligaments resulting in ”universal joint” type of mobility of the cervix.
Biography:
William Howell Masters is eponymously associated with Allen-Masters syndrome, or broad ligament laceration syndrome. He is, however, far more famous for sexier things than ligaments. Masters and his wife, Virginia Eshelman Johnson-Masters (née Eshelman, 1925) made up a research team noted for their studies of human sexuality.
