Ossification of the ligamentum flavum of the thoracic spine in adult kyphosis
Tóm tắt
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum has been recognised as a definite clinical entity as is ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. The incidence of both is high in Japan. This study demonstrates that the incidence of ossification of the ligamentum flavum in persons who have a kyphosis of the thoracic or lumbar spine is higher than in those who do not. It is considered that localised mechanical stress affecting the ligamentum flavum is a contributing factor to the development of ossification, together with the generalised factors which may favour bone formation. However, the aetiology of this lesion is still obscure as is that of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
