P22. Surgical outcomes in cervical ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament: a case series and literature review
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can cause symptoms such as myelopathy and radiculopathy. Anterior decompression and fusion (ADF) and laminoplasty (LAMP) are common surgical options to decompress the spinal cord and stabilize the spine. ADF provides direct decompression but is associated with greater complexity and higher risks, whereas LAMP is less invasive but may be less effective in severe cases. Ongoing research aims to compare these approaches and guide the selection of the most appropriate treatment.

METHODS
Data collection included demographic characteristics, radiological findings, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score for cervical myelopathy recorded between 2010 and 2024. Postoperative and last follow-up JOA scores were compared with preoperative values within and between the two groups. Postoperative complications were also assessed. Regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with achieving a minimal clinically important improvement or difference in the JOA score.
RESULTS
The study analyzed 27 patients who underwent either ADF (n = 18) or LAMP (n = 9). Both groups had comparable demographics, although segmental involvement was more common in the ADF group. Preoperative JOA scores were higher in the ADF group, and postoperative improvements were greater, but recovery rates were similar between the two groups. Complications such as reoperation and C5 palsy occurred only in the ADF group, though these differences were not statistically significant. Surgical site infections were observed exclusively in the LAMP group. Factors such as age, BMI, and smoking history did not significantly influence the MCID, but the occupying ratio showed a potential impact (p = 0.0516), underscoring its role as a nuanced predictor of surgical success.
CONCLUSIONS
Both ADF and LAMP are effective and safe treatments for cervical OPLL. However, patients with a higher occupying ratio may have a reduced likelihood of achieving MCID success.
