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 ...
The posterior atlantoaxial ligament is a broad, thin membrane attached, above, to the lower border of the posterior arch of the atlas; below, to the upper edges of the laminæ of the axis. It supplies the place of the ligamenta flava , and is in relation, behind, with the obliqui capitis inferiores .
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.

MRI of a lumbar spinal stenosis L4-L5. L4-L5 antherolisthesis of grade I. Hypertrophy of interspinous ligaments in relation to Baastrup's disease. 67 years old man. MRI is the preferred method of diagnosing and evaluating spinal stenosis of all areas of the spine, including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar.
In this procedure, the ligamentum flavum is first removed, followed by the removal of the superior facet osteophyte in the spinal canal, and then the decompression of the spinal nerve root. [ 5 ] [ 11 ] Another surgical method of decompression is the Fenestration method, which involves creating a small window in the spinal canal and then ...
The researchers looked at the temporalis muscles, which are related to the jaw, on MRI images. Participants were then grouped into categories based on their muscle size.
ligamentum arteriosum: extra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein: ligamentum teres hepatis (the "round ligament of the liver"). intra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein (the ductus venosus) ligamentum venosum: distal portions of the fetal left and right umbilical arteries: medial umbilical ligaments
