Background context Ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy plays a dominant role in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). A previous study found that fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) was upregulated with mechanical stress in rabbit LF. However, the expression and function of FGF9 are not well understood ...
Therapeutic Exercise in Treating Chronic Prolapse of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum has been reported to occur in the prolapsed intervertebral disc syndrome. The ligaments from 28 patients were compared... Z Zheng 被引量: 0发表: 2000年 Chinese medicinal composition for...
The patient initially presented with clumsiness of his right hand and rapidly progressing gait disturbance. Imaging findings revealed compression myelopathy due to cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) (Additional file 1...
6 months, and 12 months postoperation, and the fused segmental height (the distance between the midpoint of the adjacent vertebrae) and the fused intervertebral height (the distance between the midpoint of the inferior endplate of the upper vertebral body and the midpoint of the superior endpl...
Iatrogenic Spinal Cord Injury during Removal of the Inferior Articular Process in the Presence of Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum Ossified ligamentum flavum (OLF) is a condition of heterotopic lamellar bone formation within the yellow ligament. Some patients with OLF can be asymptomat... SM ...

Background Fibrosis is one of the main pathologies caused by hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (LF), which leads to lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is a key mediator of fibrosis. However, acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) expression and ...
The presence of facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy was classified jointly as posterior degenerative changes. Results The overall incidence of retrolisthesis at L5–S1 in our study was 23.2%. Retrolisthesis combined with posterior degenerative changes, degenerative disc disease, or ...
