Subject: MRI of L-spine and I am stuck on this one

Dr says Elements of secondary spinal stenosis are appreciated especially at L4-5 secondary to (what s/l post ligaflatum) hypertrophy and facet arthropathy. Could he be saying post ligamental? I usually have no problem with MRIs but this is a new guy and he clips his words. Thanks!
