Predictors of Surgical Outcome in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Patients with Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

摘要

OBJECTIVE: A retrospective study was conducted to clarify the predictors of the operation results for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Detailed analyses of surgical outcomes of OPLL patients with SCI have been rare because most surveys have aimed to investigate OPLL or SCI, but not both.
