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.
