Abstract
OLF prevalence and sizes increase parallel to age. Posterior elements' degenerative changes facilitate OLF development. A close relation exists between OLF size and facet joint degeneration. A direct relationship exists between OLF size and the degree of posterior elements degeneration. It is highly probable for lumbar level OLF size to be insufficient to cause any symptoms.
