The current literature contains many data associated with the cervical ligamentum flavum (CLF). The present study is to overview knowledge of CLF.
Comprehensive literature review was performed.
Topics include anatomy, embryology, histology, radiology, clinical relevance, and pathological manifestations of the CLF, including ossification, calcification, and hypertrophy. Spine procedures always require extreme precision; spine surgeons and neurosurgeons encounter challenges that put patients' lives at risk.
This study can assist clinicians in performing spinal interventions with the fewest possible complications. Because there have been few studies of the CLF, further investigation is suggested.
当前文献包含许多与颈椎黄韧带（CLF）相关的数据。本研究旨在概述关于CLF的知识。
进行了全面的文献综述。
主题包括CLF的解剖学、胚胎学、组织学、放射学、临床相关性以及病理表现，包括骨化、钙化和肥大。脊柱手术始终需要极高的精准度；脊柱外科医生和神经外科医生面临着将患者生命置于危险境地的挑战。
本研究可协助临床医生进行脊柱干预时尽可能减少并发症。由于对CLF的研究较少，建议进一步开展调查。
