Ligamentum Flavum Anatomy. It is continuous in the midline. Connects the spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae.
The lumbar ligamentum flavum does not consist of two layers, but is confluent instead with the interspinous ligament that attaches to the zygapophyseal joints. The ligamentum flavum consists of a superficial and a deep component.
Connects The Spinous Processes Of Adjacent Vertebrae.
An anatomic study was performed to investigate the ligamentum flavum of the human lumbar spine.
The Ligamentum Flavum Limits Spinal Flexion (Bending Forward), Especially Abrupt Flexion.
Anatomy of the paired ligamentum flavum spanning out between adjacent laminae.
Because Of Its Location, Along With Limiting Hyperflexion, These Ligamentous Sections Help Enclose The Posterior Aspect Of The.

The Major Ligaments Of The Vertebral Column Include:
Material included 14 lumbar vertebral columns obtained.
The Superficial Ligamentum Flavum Inserts Onto The Superior.
We conducted an anatomical study to determine the influence of age and gender on the thickness of the lf at the lower lumbar levels using magnetic resonance imaging (mri).
