A novel concept of posterior decompression and instrumented fusion with selective lordotic correction for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament
2019, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :SF-36 survey as Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) of neck pain were evaluated. The OPLL types [9], areas of ossified vertebrae, ossification thickness, and spinal canal occupation ratio [10] were investigated using multi-planar reconstruction computed tomography (MPR-CT) images. The C2–C7 lordotic angle was measured between the lower endplates of the C2 and C7 vertebral bodies on lateral radiographs using Cobb’s method.
Perioperative factors associated with favorable outcomes of posterior decompression and instrumented fusion for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: A retrospective multicenter study
2018, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The ossification thickness and space available for the spinal cord (SAC) were measured with a CT axial view. The spinal canal occupation ratio was expressed as the percentage ratio of the maximum thickness of ossification to the canal’s midsagittal diameter, using the CT axial view [15]. The C2-C7 lordotic angle was measured between the lower endplates of C2 and C7 on lateral radiographs.

2008, Joint Bone SpineCitation Excerpt :OPLL has been associated with other paraspinal ligament disorders [1], including DISH, cervical spondylosis, and S-AS. Jayakumar et al. [19] reported that ossification of other spinal ligaments was seen in 50% of the OPLL patients. Some authors [1] demonstrated that 12 out of 43 cases were associated with calcification of other spinal ligaments.
