متن کاملThe Role of the Ligamentum Flavum Area as a Morphological Parameter of Lumbar Central Spinal Stenosis.
BACKGROUND Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (LF) has been considered as a major cause of lumbar central spinal stenosis (LCSS). Previous studies have found that ligamentum flavum thickness (LFT) is correlated with aging, disc degeneration, and lumbar spinal stenosis. However, hypertrophy is different from thickness. Thus, to evaluate hypertrophy of the whole LF, we devised a new morphologic...
متن کاملComparison of Histological Changes in the Ligamentum Flavum from Spinal Canal Stenosis Patients with and without Diabetes Mellitus
Objective: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) has prominent position in spinal disorders of the elderly. Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy plays a dominant role in narrowing of the LSCS. There are some clues that Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is associated with diabetes mellitus.
