Ligamentum Flavum Hypertrophy
Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is the thickening of the ligamentum flavum, an elastic ligament in the spine that connects vertebrae and normally allows for spinal mobility. However, when thickened, it can lead to lumbar spinal stenosis and can compress the spinal cord or nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.
