Abstract
Ninety-four patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the cervical spine who had been treated operatively were evaluated clinically and radiologically. Anterior fusion, laminectomy, cervical enlargement surgery was carried out on 33 cases, 18 cases, 43 cases respectively. Radiological progression of OPLL was seen in 36% of anterior fusion, 100% of laminectomy, 81% of enlargement. In the postoperative evaluation, anterior fusion was found to be effective in 64%, laminectomy 61%, and enlargement 70%. There was no obvious correlation between post-operative result and progression of OPLL after operation.
