The ligamentum flavum is a tendon that holds your vertebrae to each other.
Redundancy in the spine often refers to the ligamentum flavum being overgrown. It can also mean that it is split in two.
The foramen ovale closes, becoming part of the interatrial septum. The Ductus arteriosus becomes the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus venosus becomes the ligamentum venosum.

Umbilical Cord becomes the Ligamentum Teres or Round Ligament shortly after birth
There may be more than two, but the size of the acetabulum with regard to the head of the femur has an effect on stability. Also, the size and condition of the ligaments holding the joint together have a definite effect on the stability of the joint. I can think of a third possibility too; the health of the bones at the joint. Severe arthritis or other degenerative bone issues will also play a role in the stability of the hip joint.
The individual vertebrae are linked with the help of connecting tissues known as ligamentum flavum, When there is noticeable swelling due to inflammatory or degenerative changes, it is known as Ligamentum flavum thickening. A spinal MRI scan will be able to detect the swelling.
Thickened ligamentum flavum appears to be part of the process of aging. It's not a disability in and of itself. It can cause disability if it leads to symptoms.
Ligamentum flavum redundancy refers to a condition where the ligamentum flavum in the spine becomes thickened or elongated beyond its normal limits. This can lead to compression of the spinal cord or nerves, resulting in symptoms like back pain, leg pain, or numbness. Treatment may involve physiotherapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery to relieve the compression.
Ligamentum flavum buckling is a result of a weakened ligamentum flavum, or the ligaments in your vertebrae that allow for bending over and snapping back up. Due to its location in the spine, weakness here can cause localized pain at the site of weakness, shooting pain along any affected nerves and muscle weakness due to decreased neurological efficiency.
They can be the contributors to the stenosis.
Ligamentum flavum is placed in the vertebral canal anterior to the spines of vertebrae and laminae of the vertebrae. Thickening of this ligament is common cause of spinal stenosis. Facet on the transverse process in enlarged in a given patient.
Surgical removal of that part of the ligament which is impinging upon the spinal cord.
Redundancy in the spine often refers to the ligamentum flavum being overgrown. It can also mean that it is split in two.
ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is a degenerative condition of the spine which most commonly occurs in the elderly where the tendons holding one vertebra to another thicken, decreasing the amount of room available for the spinal cord and the nerves that come off it. It may be associated with inflammation (arthritis) or osteoporosis. It is frequently treated surgically, and it can recur. This one seems a bit complex to answer easily, So if you follow the related link (Hypertrophy of Ligamentum Flavum in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis) you will find more information.
Yes. This drug can be used to reduce the swelling of inflammatory origin in the spinal cord. It may reduce the swelling of ligamentum flavum.
There is narrowing of the spinal canal in spinal stenosis. This happens due to swollen ligamentum flavum or due to protrusion of the intervertebral disc or some other reason.
