Ligamentum flavumSpinal ligamentsAnatomyHistologyInnervationMorphogenesisSpinal ligaments play a very important role in the mechanics of the spine. Curiously the ligamentum flavum (LF) has been the object of few specific studies. First a study on LF of foetuses has been carried out with anatomical, ...

Ligamentum flavum (pl. flava): Runs between the lamina of adjacent vertebrae. Because of its location, along with limiting hyperflexion, these ligamentous sections help enclose the posterior aspect of the vertebral canal. They also assist in straightening the spinal column after flexion. As with ...
The vertebral column has some ligaments which are present throughout the spine. But there are a few ligaments that are unique and present in the cervical spine only. Anterior and posterior longitudinal ligament (covering the vertebral body ), ligamentum flavum (connects the laminae), and interspino...
Background and objectives: Unintentional dural puncture is one of the most frequent complications of the epidural technique. One previous study suggested that atypical sonoanatomy of the ligamentum flavum/dura mater unit may be a risk factor for this complication. In this study, we describe the ana...
Ligamenta flava 1/4 Synonyms: Ligamentum flavum The vertebral arches are strengthened by several accessory ligaments: Ligamenta flava - connecting adjacent laminae. They prevent separation of the lamina during sudden flexion of the vertebral column. Interspinous ligaments - join spinous process of ...

The ligamentum flavum is a long elastic band that connects to the front surface of the lamina bones (just behind the spinal cord). Thick ligaments also connect the bones of the lumbar spine to the sacrum (the bone below L5) and pelvis....
