The Increased Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases Associated with Elastin Degradation and Fibrosis of the Ligamentum Flavum in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

BACKGROUND: One of the characteristics of spinal stenosis is elastin degradation and fibrosis of the extracellular matrix of the ligamentum flavum. However, there have been no investigations to determine which biochemical factors cause these histologic changes. So we performed the current study to i...
