Background Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability among working-age adults, with its prevalence increasing with age and peaking in the 45-54 age group. It is common practice for clinicians to conduct advanced imaging procedures, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when a patient presents with LBP. The objective of this study was to measure and analyze the width of the ligamentum flavum (LF) on each side and the extent of degeneration of the disc at the L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 levels.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 200 individuals found that those with acute LBP had significantly lower LSA compared to healthy controls, but there was no significant difference in LLA between the two groups.
- * The findings suggest that LLA and LSA measurements do not correlate with factors like age, gender, BMI, or pain severity, indicating they may not be helpful in diagnosing the causes of non-specific acute LBP.
