- •
Postoperative progression of thickness of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) occurs.
- •
Postoperative CT scan revealed instrumented fusion surgery promoted fusion of the non-ossified segment of the OPLL.
- •
Instrumented fusion surgery can suppress the thickening of OPLL.
