OBJECTIVE: Degenerative changes in posterior elements of the spine such as thickening or hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (LF) may result in spinal stenosis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential factors including age, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), facet joint ...

Thoracic spine ossified ligamentum flavum: single-surgeon experience of fifteen cases and a new MRI finding for preoperative diagnosis of dural ossificationOssified ligamentum flavumossification of ligamentum flavumIndiadural ossificationsurgical outcome
In all 21 cases,16 cases had secondary intervertebral disc herniation(76.19%),of them,5 cases of disc herniation were above the block vertebral(31.25%), 11 below(68.75%);cervical curvature straighten occurred in 14 cases(66.67%),ligamentum flavum hypertrophy in 3 patients ...
The most frequent findings included generalized vertebral sclerosis (24, 88.8%), ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (23, 85%), anterior (20, 74%) and lateral (17, 62.9%) disc herniation, thickened longitudinal ligaments, and narrowing of spinal foramina. Hemangioma was seen in 04(14.8%). The most...
In all the subjects, spinal canal dimension, degree of stenosis was assessed and graded, further assessment for presence of foraminal stenosis, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and facetal arthropathy were also documented. Data were statistically analysed using Chi-square test and Mc Nemer's test. ...
