What is bulging and desiccation l5-s1wthickened ligamentum flavum and hypertrophic facet joint arthropathy?
Bulging and desiccation at the L5-S1 level indicate degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc, where the disc is protruding and losing hydration, potentially leading to nerve compression or pain. The thickened ligamentum flavum suggests an abnormal increase in thickness of this ligament, which can contribute to spinal stenosis. Hypertrophic facet joint arthropathy refers to the degeneration and enlargement of the facet joints, often resulting in pain and restricted mobility. Together, these conditions can lead to significant discomfort and functional impairment in the lower back.
