Histologic Observation and Significance of Sympathetic Nerve Fiber Distribution on Human Cervical Ligamentum Flavum.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the distribution of sympathetic nerves of the ligamentum flavum (LF), confirm its existence by histological observation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and analyze the relationship between sympathetic nerve fibers and the biomechanical structure of the LF.

Methods

Randomly controlled scientific research selected 15 cases of posterior surgery in the affiliated hospital of Qingdao University from January 2013 to December 2019. The average age was 67.5 ± 14.5 years old, eight males and seven females. The LF specimens (completely separated fresh tissue) of different segments (C_3-7 ) were taken during the operation. Two pages of LF specimens on the left and right sides of the same segment are randomly allocated by the pairing method for
