Updated: Jan 15

The correlation between spinal ligament biomechanics and intervertebral disc degeneration


Aging is primarily related to biomechanical changes to the LF.(ligamentum flavum)


IVD-degeneration is related to a relevant reduction in stiffness and ultimate strength of the LF and ISL&SSL(interspinous ligament, supraspinous ligament), with a similar trend for the ITL (intertransverse ligament)


Intervertebral disc degeneration relates to biomechanical changes of spinal ligaments
Intervertebral disc degeneration relates to biomechanical changes of spinal ligaments

The ligamentum flavum is essential for maintaining an upright posture, it helps to preserve the normal curvature of the spine and helps to straighten the spinal column after it has been flexed


The interspinous ligament is essential for limiting flexion by restricting the separation of the spinous processes of the vertebral column


The supraspinous ligament is essential for maintaining the upright position of the head
