  2. Ligamenta flava - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligamenta_flava

    Each ligamentum flavum connects the laminae of two adjacent vertebrae. [2] [3] They attach to the anterior portion of the upper lamina above, and the posterior portion of the lower lamina below. [1] They begin with the junction of the axis and third cervical vertebra, continuing down to the junction of the 5th lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. [2 ...

  3. Laminotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminotomy

    The ligamentum flavum did not appear to alter the dynamic alterations in the dimensions of the spinal cord. Even after the intervertebral disc was removed, the ligamentum flavum did not appear to be a factor in the change in the dimensions of the spinal canal. [6] By understanding the magnitude of the role that ligamentum flavum hypertrophy ...

  4. Lumbar spinal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_spinal_stenosis

    The ligamentum flavum (yellow ligament), an important structural component intimately adjacent to the posterior portion of the dural sac (nerve sac) can become thickened and cause stenosis. The articular facets, also in the posterior portion of the bony spine can become thickened and enlarged, causing stenosis.

  5. Denticulate ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denticulate_ligaments

    From a clinical standpoint, denticulate ligaments do not play a significant role in lumbar spinal stenosis when compared to issues such as disc herniations, facet hypertrophy, shape of spinal canal, size of spinal canal, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, or degenerative joint disease resulting in bony osteophyte formation.

    The lamina and spinous process are then removed to gain access to the nerves contained within the spinal canal. The structures that are compressing the nerves (usually ligamentum flavum and herniated disc) are then trimmed until the nerves are free from compression.

  7. Back pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_pain

    Spinal stenosis can occur in cases of severe spondylosis, spondylotheisis and age-associated thickening of the ligamentum flavum. Spinal stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal and typically presents in patients greater than 60 years of age.

  8. Neurogenic claudication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_claudication

    The MILD procedure aims to relieve spinal cord compression by percutaneous removal of portions of the ligamentum flavum and lamina. [10] Laminectomy also involves partial or complete removal and sacrifice of the lamina, but in addition, facets in one or more segments of the spinal cord are usually sacrificed as well.

  9. Interspinous ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interspinous_ligament

    [1] [2] They take the form of relatively weak sheets of fibrous tissue and are well developed only in the lumbar region. [3] They extend from the root to the apex of each spinous process. They meet the ligamenta flava anteriorly, [4] [better source needed] and blend with the supraspinous ligament [3] posteriorly at the apexes of the spinal ...
