BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Thickening of the LF is ascribed to buckling due to DSN.
Uncertainty exists as to whether this can occur without DSN. Our primary hypothesis was …

Study Design. Ligamentum flavum (LF) thickness was measured by using lumbar magnetic
resonance imaging in patients with low back or leg pain. Objective. This study investigated …

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 …

Introduction As the ligamentum flavum (LF) covers most of the posterolateral part of the
lumbar spinal canal, its thickening can be attributed to the development of lumbar canal …

Objective The pathomechanism and factors influencing hypertrophy of the Ligamentum
flavum in the lumbar spine still requires a confident specificity. We aimed to analyse the …

Purpose This study is an attempt to measure and compare the thickening of the LF on both
the sides with the use of magnetic resonance imaging, to investigate if there is a …

Background: Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum (LF) has been considered as a major
cause of lumbar central spinal stenosis (LCSS). Previous studies have found that …

Study Design. A descriptive computed tomography (CT) study of the ligamentum flavum (LF)
thickness in individuals with normal and stenotic lumbar spines. Objective. To establish …

Purpose To examine ligamentum flavum thickness using magnetic resonance (MR) images
to evaluate its association with low back pain symptoms, age, gender, lumbar level, and disc …

Study design. Experimental study of the ligamentum flavum (LF) thickness among patients
with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). Objectives. To elucidate the factors associated …
